As long as you use the alternate install cd you should be fine.. I tried 
to install from the live cd on this T20 and it puked all over it's self. 
( T20/700/512). But alt worked fine, though even with flux as my wm. It 
was really REALLY slow. After a bit of searching I found Zenwalk. 
Started with 4.8 then to 5.0 running XFCE 4.4. It's almost like having a 
new lappy with how fast and responsive it is with multiple desktop 
sessions running.

Just thought I would put that out there, but I would love to hear what 
kind of luck you have.
