My Thinkpad 600E (type 2645-4A0) originally comes with Intel PentiumII 366 MHz processor (MMC-2/Dixon core). I plan to change it to PentiumIII 450 - processor.

Hi Jim, I managed to find a FDD that plugs directly in. That seems to do it. I have installed a new HDD and have installed XP home and am now in the process of adding all of the IBM updates. I used a 40gig drive that I recently replaced on my t40P and had a difficult time with the MBR.

Needed to do a complete new install with new partition. I have managed to get through all of the XP updates, including SP3 and everything seems OK so far. Thanks for your response. I am at 08852, near Turnpike 8A. Regards, Bill. Thanks for the offer James. I now have the bios issue behind me.

I am now after the 256mb memory updates and have ordered two modules from Crucial. Hope they come through as the low density modules.

After reading some of the threads on Thinkpads dot com, I am interested in upgrading the cpu. I noticed that most of the dialog is pretty old now, so wondering if that is worth considering. If there is a relatively simple plug and play option that is cheap, I would be interested. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

Installing Linux on an IBM ThinkPad 600E Running Linux on an IBM ThinkPad 600E Note: My ThinkPad 600E, serial number 78-KXNN2, was stolen in November 1999 while I was at home in Rhode Island, parked at a CompUSA for 15 minutes. It was in a nondescript looking backpack. Any help or suggestions on how to get it back are appreciated, but everyone be sure to keep an eye on yours!

Introduction I purchased an,. (Model, which is actually a model with more RAM and academic software.) One of the reasons that I purchased this computer, other than it was a great deal, was that it happens to have a 3-button pointing device, making it perfect for running X-Windows.

I chose Linux. Specifically, I chose RedHat Linux 6.0.

I recommend this distribution for this computer, it has lots of the features that laptop users will need. I have since reinstalled and am now running RedHat Linux 6.1, but I had to install it from CD. First, you will need to install Linux. Get it on a CD, it's the easiest.

If you can't find it on a CD, then you should do an FTP install. Only one problem. Most RPI students received an IBM EtherJet CardBus card with their laptop.

The Linux drivers for this card were developed very recently, so if you want to do an FTP or other network-based install, you have to borrow a PCMCIA card from someone. I recommend the 3Com cards, they generally work well. (Note that Megahertz cards, while exactly the same on the inside as the 3Com versions, can't be used to install Linux because they aren't recognized by the installer).

After installing Linux, you'll have to customize it to run well on the ThinkPad, and that's what this page is about. Also, I wrote this page under the assumption that the average user will need to configure everything, so some of my packages expect to find the other packages (the pcmcia package needs the dhclient package, which are customized to work with the apm package.).
