Thanks I have netbsd 0.9 running on my tp750. The tp750 requires patches that are not part of any official release, but may make it in someday. For the time being you need to have a working netbsd 0.9 system with kernel source code. You can then apply patches to that machine's source code to create a diskette that boots on a thinkpad 750. Once you have that diskette, you can install netbsd on the thinkpad. Since, there aren't a lot of instructions, you probably can't do this unless you already know your way around a BSD-ish kernel. But for those who want the patches, ftp to cs.utk.edu and cd to pub/moore/netbsd and grab whatever you find useful. -- Keith Moore / U.Tenn CS Dept / 107 Ayres Hall / Knoxville TN 37996-1301 Internet: moore@cs.utk.edu BITNET: moore@utkvx Preserve the fourth amendment!
