I've installed Debian on 2 thinkpads. An old 486 model (can't remember
the precise model #) and a 600E. You didn't say what model you
have. Here's a really useful URL for running Linux on laptops:

The only problem I had was that the older TP needed to use the tecra
boot disk, while the 600E didn't.

Good Luck,
