That's kind of the impression that I got too. Debian just doesn't
want to install on Thinkpads I guess.
I tried RH 7.3 last night. They seem to have gotten around most of
the things that I had disliked about the earlier releases, so I may stay
with that one for a while. Now if they would just quit insisting that
you "must" have the lm-sensors packages on a laptop. That one is bad
news for Thinkpads. (I learned that lesson the hard way. I had to have
the system board replaced after that).
