Debian Lenny on a T60 6371-6NU

You might also want to check out Debian Etch on a Thinkpad T60 HowTo and Installing_Debian_Lenny_on_a_ThinkPad_T61. In case you can't decode the Thinkpad model number, here are the specs (I've left out modem, infrared, cardbus since I haven't ever used them):

I'm going to do everything in Linux (i.e. assume that you already have a running linux version running somewhere else).

Installation

  1. First of all, get the [businesscard cd image http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-businesscard.iso] from the Debian server.
  2. Then burn it to a cd with the command
    cdrecord -v debian-testing-amd64-businesscard.iso /dev/cdrom (or whatever your burning device is called)

  1. Now stick in the newly burned disc and reboot

to be continued . . .
