BTW can you please tell me how did you convinced IBM to give you the
recovery CDs ? :)
I am from Greece and recently i have bought an R40. Unfortunately i have
destroyed the PITA predesktop area. I said to them that the fault is
theirs because they dont say anywhere in the manual anything about Linux
and problem with the format of the hdd...
I called the IBM services and they said that they cant give me the
recovery CDs....
