DSL on a 701C using loadlin help

#1 Post by Matt4495 » Thu Mar 11, 2010 8:28 pm

I got a 701C off ebay. It works great, except the battery is corroded in and i got the screw drivers coming (T1 and T6). I am trying to install [censored] Small Linux, i am using loadlin and i am able to get into the part where you are choosing the config but i cant get it to load to the desktop, i just get a black screen and i have to sudo reboot....
any help is greatly appreciated :bow:
EDIT: forget that i said sudo reboot to get it to work, i am not all here right now
Thinkpad 770E (works)
Thinkpad Transnote (works)
2x Thinkpad 701C (works)
Thinkpad R61e (Died, no longer have)
Thinkpad T61 (Mostly Retired)
Thinkpad x201s (Main work horse)

The brains behind [censored] Small Linux said, [censored] it, and has moved on:

I haven't had the courage to try Tiny Core Linux, but it might be an alternative.
