I have an IBM ThinkPad R51E, and I have installed Debian Sarge on it.
Just run the cd-rom of installation, boot it and press FN + F7.
Henceforth, you are on your own !!!
Running SuSE 10.2 (net upgrade from a 10.1 DVD install) on a R51e, machine model 1843.
- Get openSUSE-10.2-GM-i386-mini.iso
- Under Windows: Multimedia Center for Think Offerings > RecordNow Data > Copy > Burn Image
- find the IP address of the installation repository and directory on server
- Boot from CD, select HTTP install, enter server IP and directory eg, /pub/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss
