Hello,

I want to install Centos 5.0 in my T60. Where I can find information that shows the general steps to do it.

It does have Centos 5.0 all the drivers for the T60 ? How about Fedora ?

Any recomendation ?

Thanks.

I've been using Fedora Core 6 on my T60. CentOS is close regarding setup, package management and configuration.

I'd be happy to help if you have any specific questions.

Hi !

Today I installed Fedora Core 7. But I am wondering why the led of the wireless does not blink when there is any wireless traffic.

Thank you

The wireless led is controlled by software. The intel driver does not blink yet, but it probably will support that eventually. Not sure about the madwifi status.

Now when I am going to shutdown the machine, Fedora stops in: shutdown eth0. At this point there is no any advance.

Does fedora have problem with the Intel ethernet driver too ?

I have Fedora 7 on my T60. It has no problems with ethernet.

I reinstalled Fedora Core 7. Now there is not any problem when I am going to shutdown the machine.

But I noted that when I made a ping to my router from Fedora there is a no a normal time:
[root@sapian plugins]# ping 192.168.252.254

The times when I made the same ping from Windows XP in the same machine are more faster.

Any suggestion ?

Is your network busy when you do this, say with traffic from your Windows machine?

No, my network is not busy when I made the test. Today at the network's office I made some pings to the router:

I think all is rigth. The T60 is working fine with Fedora 7 and the 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller is working properly.

I appreciate your help !
