Mandrake Linux on a Presario 700 series: http://www.quack-net.com/presario/
I have a 730US. Don't bother reconfiguring the Mandrake kernel. Get a vanilla kernel (if you can live without supermount) and patch it. Once again, the Website will guide you. If you have any questions on how, feel free to e-mail me personally (or the list).
