Introduction
This page shows some partes of how I did once install Gentoo Linux on my ThinkPad. Since the R51 is now quite outdated (2005) everyone having such a laptop surely has his/her system installed already. So why this page?
Mainly out of interest and for fun.
If you also own a Thinkpad R51 (machine types 1829, 1830, 1831 and 1836) feel free to add what you feel missing.
