List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Janina, I am impressed with your talking about the think Pad, I have always loved the keyboards on those laptops. If someone ploans on dual booting however, they should be aware at least on my think pad, the damn thing loses its keyboard mapping in DOS and I havew not been able to do anything but reboot to get it back. I have even gone so far as to create a boot disk so Windows is never seen, but still the same. Either a pathing problem to whatever controls the keyboard or a hardware thing. don't know. Having said that, I don't know if there would be aproblem with Linux but if I convert the thing to Linux, then it will be all linux. -- charlie.
