I have had absolutely no problems running FC3/4/5 on my T42 Thinkpad (2378-FZU is my flavor if you want to be exact). I learned a great deal about any subtle nuances by reviewing the following sites: www.thinkwiki.org www.linux-on-laptops.com/ibm.html on this site you will see several links where folks have FC5 running on their T60 Thinkpads. I had to append the following to the kernel line in my /boot/grub/grub.conf file: pci=noacpi acpi_sleep=s3_bios You will need to create scripts in the /etc/acpi/events directory to properly react to sleep/suspend/lid open/lid close events. You will see this documented on the linux-on-laptops site. Just look at the installation instructions for FC4/5 for some of the T40/41/42's With just a little bit of digging you will find everything that you need on these two sites. If you have any other questions, just ask. Charlie -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
