Thanks Civileme, I was hoping that wouldn't be the answer, but at least I
got a good price for the laptop :)
I am a little confused about Tobshiba's numbering scheme; I've been
noticing that they seem to go up and down the numbers for the model (your
CT4850 for example)
I am greatful to say however, I have been able to load Mandrake 8.2 and
now I'm going to play with FBDev!
Thank you!
Mike
