Thanks for your reply. The specs are as follows:
Tecra 700CT notebook computer:
- Processor: 120 MHz Intel Pentium processor with 16KB internal cache
- Video: SVGA graphics controller with a PCI local bus, VESA Extended VGA BIOS (including VBE/PM), using Chips & Technologies CT 65548 video display.
- IEEE1284 8-bit ECP parallel port
- Mouse: AccuPoint pointing device and external PS/2 compatible mouse port
- Sound: ESS Technologies ES688, Yamaha OPL3 (YMF262), and Yamaha D/A converter (YAC512). Compatible with Sound Blaster.
- CD-ROM: 5.25 inch quadruple speed, MPC-compliant CD-ROM. I'm not sure if I can boot from the CD-ROM. I think it is only the floppy or from the HD.
- PCMCIA: Two Type II PCMCIA slots
I have Win98 installed currently but I am thinking of only installing Linux Mandrake and deleting the Win98 OS. Is that possible? Also, can I still run one or two MS/Win programs such as Word or Excel under Linux?
Thanks for your help.

We need more specific information about the hardware.� Do you have sound?
What kind of video chipset are you using?� Does it have a CD or will you be
installing from network or image files?� Is the cd bootable or can you have
both the floppy and cd in at the same time?� Do you want KDE/X or not?� When
you find all that out, go to
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/fhard.html� That shows all supported
hardware for Mandrake.� If your stuff checks out, sure you can run it.
