Debian Lenny on a T60 6371-6NU

In case you can't decode the Thinkpad model number above, here are the specs (I've left out modem, infrared, cardbus since I haven't ever used them):

Processor	Intel Core 2 Duo (Merom) 1.83GHz
Graphics Adaptor	Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
Display	15.4" TFT display with 1200x800 resolution (widescreen)
RAM	1 GB PC2-5300 (upgraded to 2GB)
Harddisk	120GB 5400 RPM Hitatchi HTS54161
Audio	AD1981HD HD Audio 1.0 controller
Ethernet	82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Optical	LG-Hitatchi HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4083N Dual Layer DVD+/-RW
Wireless	Atheros AR5418
Biometric	STMicroelectronics Fingerprint Reader

I'm going to do everything in Linux (i.e. assume that you already have a running linux version running somewhere else).

First of all, get the [businesscard cd image http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-businesscard.iso] from the Debian server.
Then burn it to a cd with the command
cdrecord -v debian-testing-amd64-businesscard.iso /dev/cdrom (or whatever your burning device is called)

to be continued . . .
