This is how I installad Debian / Sarge on my new T43p.

==Installation==
I also got a new 100 GB HDS disk, so I swapped out the 60 GB model an plug in my new 100 GB.
When I booted the Sarge Installdisks with the 2.6 Kernel, Linux was not able to recognize the HD.

Then I booted with the old 2.4 Kernel, installed sarge, get a fresh kernel from kernel.org.
After compilation and replacing hda through sda, the T43p boot into 2.6.

==Hardware==
===CPU and frequency scaling===
Currently not working, clocks the cpu down but not up.

===Network===
Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 11)
Works with the tg3 module

===Bluetooth===
Nothing special here. Working without any problem.

===Sound===
Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controlle<br>
With ALSA snd_intel8x0 working without any problem.

===Graphics Adapter===
ATI Technologies Inc M24 1T [FireGL M24 GL] (rev 80)

It is a [[ATI Mobility FireGL V3200]] with 128MB

I used the debian packages from [[http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html]] version 8.14.13-2
and followed the instructions on that page.

Nothing special here. (XFree 4.3.0.dfsg)

===Mouse===
I use one external USB Logitech Trackball and both internal, the Toucpad and the Trackpoint.
In my XF86Config-4 are 3 mice.

To have all the hardware show up with its proper name, I had to get a new pci.ids file from the [http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ Linux PCI ID Repostiory] and copy it to /usr/share/misc/pci.ids. I believe newer distributions and kernels won't need that file anymore.
