I've got a ThinkPad 750P here that holds a special place in my geek heart.
It's my first PC ever, and I want to put Linux on it.
It's got a 33MHz 486, 12GB disk (BIOS sees 8GB), 36MB RAM, a WD90C24 video
chip with 1MB VRAM, and a CS4248 audio chip, and an untethered pen.
I've tried Gentoo (the pain!), Debian and Slackware. I have a floppy drive
and network card, so a lot of distributions start installing just fine.
I'd like to get ALL the devices working. I know it won't be fast, and I know
the svga driver hasn't been ported to the current X distributions.
I know some of you have been using Linux on ThinkPads for a LONG time, so,
What are my best options? (besides recycling)
Thanks,
Chris Schumann
