Thanks.
Vasanth. I apologize for not replying sooner. While you didn't say which Thinkpad you were trying the install on, perhaps the following URL which discusses my install on this 760ED will help: http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/linux/tp760ed.html I had to run down some obscure boot disk image to make the Debian install go and the page above lists the file names and locations. Hope this helps. - Nate >> -- Packet | N0NB @ WF0A.#SCKS.KS.USA.NOAM | "None can love freedom Internet | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | heartily, but good Location | Wichita, Kansas USA EM17hs | men; the rest love not Wichita area exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | freedom, but license." http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | -- John Milton
