That sounds like the Lenovo I bought for motorbike road trips, only I don't remember the SCSI part, so mine might have been a little different model. When I was first experimenting with SuSE linux, I installed it on that laptop as a dual-boot system, and as I recall, everything pretty much worked right out of the box. I had wireless issues with my Toshiba laptop, which I resolved by adding a PCMCIA wireless card, but I'm almost certain the Lenovo had no such problems. (I can't verify that now, because it's currently an XP-Pro machine only.) Best of luck with it. If your eyes can deal with a screen that small, it's indeed a great little computer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
