The same three CD's installed to my Fujitsu C-Series Lifebook with only one hitch, it could not resize my partitions. Installation hung up when I tried. As far as running it came up and ran just fine. I have not seen any problems with it yet.
Basic System Info 1.13 Ghz Intel Pentium i830 chipset (graphics) cdrw/dvd atapi 512 meg ram I have not tried any pcmcia devices yet. Nor USB, but sound works, not sure about the modem (winmodem which has never worked in linux so I stopped trying ;) ) One note, utilities that probe the serial ports complain about the lack of a module for the serial ports, which will never be loaded because there are no serial ports on the laptop. Not a problem. Just a note.
