OK. Do it the scientific way: Set it going and see what gets hot. You have fairly sensitive infa red detectors on the ends of your fingers :-). This fault description raises the possibility of signal degradation; you may have something barely passing signals, then gradually going to the

Thinkpads have DISASTROUS problems with apm, but should otherwise be fine, and I never heard of pcmcia circuitry overheating in them. AFAIK, pcs run linux cooler than windoze anyhow. What way are you running it? If you haven't done it, you'll need a kernel set up for the thinkpad, as

I see the problems are with laptops. There could be issues with apm, automagically messing everything up on a suspend. Is this out of the equation? BTW, what laptops? Some have specific hassles which cause install problems. Have you checked the linux laptop page for a link to your ones?

I had a laptop and got stuck doing an install. There is a document on the Red Hat site indicating how, step by step, to do a PLIP install. The single noticable omission is to warn you about plip mode 1 mode 2. One uses the standard parallel port, and the other uses a bidirectional port.
