I guess I didn't make myself clear. You cannot hot-swap the CD-ROM and Floppy drives, so if you boot from the floppy, you can't put the CD in because there is no CD-ROM DRIVE in the machine. If you turn off the ThinkPad and install the CD-ROM DRIVE, you cannot boot from the floppy. Catch 22. It must be possible to install Linux on a Thinkpad, because I have read that people have done it, but no one has touched on this particula point. Maybe I'm missing something.
