OK! It isn't perfect... I love linux and I wish to install just it on my 
notebook but I'm terrorized reading some web pages on linux installation on 
ThinkPad T43p.
Someone say that I cannot write on MBR... other say that I MUST have XP on 
the notebook and I MUST use dual boot... someone say that I can lost the 
'Access IBM' button functionality....
Besides, from thinkwiki pages: <Tinkering with the default MBR and the 
Rescue & Recovery partition puts risk to your system. It can result in 
rendering the system completely unusable and severe data loss. You follow 
any instructions described here on your own risk>.
I wish to delete XP and to install just Linux... I don't need Access IBM 
button functionality at the boot time because it install the german XP 
version (I'm italian!)... I wish to know if I can disable the recovery 
functionality, if I can (must?) delete the hidden partition without problem, 
(can I afterwards re-install XP, IF I NEED IT, using a standard italian XP 
cd-rom?), if I can install Fedora 5 writing on MBR... etc...
ThinkPad T43p is a very expensive computer... I wait a VERY VERY LONG time 
to buy it and I cannot buy another T43p if I destroy it :-(
Please help me!
