− | The Ubuntu 5.10 installer did not recognize the network card (Intel 82573L), so I decided to try 6.04.

− | * First, you should look at {{Install|Ubuntu| 5.04|T43 (1875)}}. There is information on preserving the functionality of the ThinkVantage button, which I did not follow.
| |
− | * You should probably create the IBM Rescue CDs before you begin.
| |
− | * Downloaded CD ISO of Ubuntu's Dapper flight 5 (http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/flight5).
| |
− | * The installer's partitioner allowed me to resize the Windows partition down to 10 GB. I left the IBM recovery partition alone and created three partitions for the Linux system: / (8GB), /usr (8GB), and /home (46.8 GB).
| |
− | * I let the installer install GRUB in the MBR. I kind of regret doing that. See the T43 instructions on the alternative methods.
| |
− | * The installer recognized the network card (unlike Ubuntu 5.10).
| |
− | * The blue "ThinkVantage" button now goes to GRUB instead of IBM's Rescue System. You can get to the IBM partition from the GRUB menu by choosing the "Windows NT" partition.

− | * X wouldn't start. There is no support for the ATI x1300. I changed the driver in xorg.conf from "ati" to "vesa" and made the maximum resolution 1024x768 with a color depth of 16, which at least works.
| |
− | * I did a network upgrade of all packages (on March 23, 2006). This killed X.
