[ltp] Re: thinkpad R40 recovery cd

[leg babouyes]

Hi All. Thank you for your replys.
i have no warrantie left, this is bad. the cd's costs over 50=80 in
germany. this is not very good for me, since i'm a student and i don't
have so much money to invest on a 3 years old laptop. now i'm running
w2k, but i really need the recovery cds. it whould be great if some
one of you have a thinkpad r40 could send me the isos of the recovery
cd's. as i posted before, i could give a login to my server in order
to upload them.

thank you very much!!!
