Just yesterday, I managed to install Debian 1.2 on an IBM Thinkpad that I was having trouble with. I found the Debian 1.1 distribution on a mirror (ftp.infomagic.com I think) and used the 1.1 floppies. Then I pointed dselect to the 1.2 distribution and eventually got a working system. I have tried everything to get the 1.2 floppies to boot the Thinkpad, but have had no luck.
