[ltp] how to start with thinkpad T60?

[shadowkernel]

My original BIOS is 7LET51WW (1.21-1.06). I feel the newer BIOS is 
optimized for newer 45nm Intel CPUs, which have lower power consumption, 
and a TDP of 25 watts, compared to 35 watts of 65nm Intel CPUs.

However, I do not want to downgrade the BIOS, because I need some of its 
new features.

My current solution is to use fan controlling software to shift up the 
temperature threshold by 5 Celsius.  I believe 50 Celsius or so should 
not damage the hardware.
