[Michael Maass]

If you are successfull with installing Linux on the 560, please let me have
a note.....

I tried Suse 7.2 successfull with a 1460 PCMCIA and a HP CD Writer as Drive,
hoever the X did not run with my DSTN Display on the 560E

Try this :
1. Copy the dosutils directory onto a FAT partition and boot into that

2. run autoboot with the Redhat cd in the cdrom drive
