[ltp] TP600+Debian problems

[David Bell]

I may be able to help with the sound card...  I just got sound working
on my Thinkpad 770E in Debian Woody.  I'm using the OSS cs4232 module. 
I had to compile a 2.4.18-ac3 kernel with PnP BIOS enabled, then used
the lspnp and setpnp tools to enable the card.  Good luck! :)
