Depending on how new your ThinkPad is, you may not need a new boot disk. Did you try using the stock boot disk to see if it work? If not, then you'll need to build a custom boot floppy which takes about 600MB of disk, which is why I didn't build a custom floppy for 2.1.5. I don't have that much space available anymore. :( Nate -- nate@sri.com | Research Engineer, SRI Intl. - Montana Operations nate@trout.mt.sri.com | Loving life in God's country, the great state of work #: (406) 449-7662 | Montana (all the crazies are now in jail 'cept us home #: (406) 443-7063 | natives). - Fly fishing fanatic!
