I have an IBM ThinkPad R51E, and I have installed Debian Sarge on it.

Just run the cd-rom of installation, boot it and press FN + F7.

Henceforth, you are on your own !!!


Running SuSE 10.2 (net[1] upgrade from a 10.1 DVD install) on a R51e, machine model 1843.

  • Get openSUSE-10.2-GM-i386-mini.iso
  • Under Windows: Multimedia Center for Think Offerings > RecordNow Data > Copy > Burn Image
  • find the IP address of the Installation Repository and directory on server
  • Boot from CD, select HTTP install, enter server IP and directory eg, /pub/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss
