Bruce, Thanks foe the come back. I have not been looking at the list =
long. I am new to this. I have a 400 meg 600E. I got lindows 4.5, there =
newest. I don't know what kernal it is based on.

Is there not an "install" that is common to all linux?

I have been to IBM but not found the linux drivers. But even with them, =
I still do not know how to install them. I don't have ANY docs.

Lindows loaded like a breze. About 15 min. It found and started fine but =
for the modem and sound.

So to be specific, I need the frivers and to know how to install things.

Sorry to be a pain,  Ron

  Ron,

  Do you have a more specific question.

  TP 600E has been covered on the list many times in the past. =20

  Which Distro are you using?

  Have you been to IBM web site to pickup the Linux driver files?

  I have installed in the past Red Hat 8.0, SuSE 8.2, SuSE 9.0 and more =
recently SuSE 9.1.  I'm sure others have installed other Distro's just =
fine on the TP 600E.

  So, maybe with more specific questions, I or others can help.

  I'm currently running Novell's SuSE 9.1 Professional on a TP 600 E.

  Regards,

  Bruce
