agreed, but SlimCD on that machine may still be challenging (the

SlimCD boots fine on Thinkpad T22. I do not know about any older models.
Alternatively, you could pull out the hard drive from the laptop and
hook it up to a desktop machine. Boot the desktop from SlimCd and run
install to HD. It requires a bit of work, but then the laptop CD drive
is not needed anymore.
Cheers,
I think the T line is after they switched to a normal ATAPI drive... any
way, your hard drive trick is the way that I've successfully installed
to laptops of the 240's vintage. A 40-44 pin adapter will be required,
coupla bucks at the nearest RadioShack/Fry's equivalent.
