I apoligize for this post, after sending, I rememberd the procedure I
followed to install debian and I specified floppy=thinkpad at boot and now
it works and is cloned to HD, and I am going to try installing addons now
I do have a question, does anyone know where to find an instant messanging
client that works with AIM (either AOL's linux AIM, GAIM, or TiK)
