Hi, I just got an R40 and plan on installing Debian <Libranet> on it. I know that on their support database section <on their website www.libranet.com> that they have a section on APM for laptops. Maybe this could be of some help to you...
I will be doing the install in a week or two <other things to do, dang!>. Please keep me posted on how you do. cheers On Tue, Sep 16, 2003 at 12:09:10PM -0400, Patricio Rojo wrote: > Nice people out there:), > > I have been using Debian on a Thinkpad R40 for a couple of months now, > trying all this time to ignore a couple of problems.
