I have Ubuntu happily running on two new Thinkpads and an aged A20m that's been
given an upgrade and amazing new lease of life so pleased as punch.
However I have a couple of tiny laptops by IBM - Thinkpad 240's that I use in
the car on AC/DC converter when I am travelling. Both currently run dual boot
2K Pro and CentOS 3.x. They're really cool tiny little laptops ideal for
travelling and I'd love to get Ubuntu onto them.
So I have options, network install or a driver disk supporting PCMCIA as the 240
has no drives and external IBM floppy or CD. Superbootmanager gets me to the
boot off HDD and floppy but of course doesnt get me to PCMCIA nor did I expect
it to.
Can I do an install over http on the network here or via FTP from a local box ?
Does such a driver disk exist or do I have to go think about making one ?
Anyone who can help - shout.
Richard
