Re: Debian on Thinkpad 755C with NO cd-rom drive
I used to run Debian on a 755C for several years (it was my first laptop).
I installed via floppy and eventually hooked up to a PLIP connection. In
fact I used it until just before I moved about 18 months ago. I had X and
fvwm95 running on it. It does run much better though if you have 36MB.
If you use a smaller wm you'll probably get better performance than I did.
