Install of Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 on IBM ThinkPad 600E

1999-11-03 Thread Christian Ericsson
I want to install Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 on IBM ThinkPad 600E. Is it possible?

The following hardware that I think could be a problem is listed here:

Graphic: NeoMagic MagicMedia 256AV with AGP, 13.3 TFT XGA (1024x768)
Network: 3Com Megahertz 10/100 LAN Cardbus PC Card, Model 3CCFE575BT

I think the NeoMagic chip is OK, but what about AGP? Does the 2.0.x kernel
(Debian GNU/Linux 2.1) support AGP?

I also checked the network PC-Card, and the Hardware-HOWTO list tell me
that the 3c575 driver maybe work in 10Mbit mode with the newest
PCMCIA-package version 3... (something). But what about 100Mbit mode? Is
there another PCMCIA network card running at 100Mbit knowing to work and
possible to buy today?

I just want to note that my thinkpad570, with same NeoMagic chip and pcmcia
card work without any trouble at all. I use the potato (unstable) version of
debian, though. Consider it if that's an option.

In addition to the other posts, I can add that I have Debian (slink)
running on a 600E and haven't had any trouble. I did upgrade X to
3.3.3.1 but that was about the only mod from the stock slink
distribution that I had to do.
