You also need X windows, Laptop support, Networked Workstation, Network Management Workstation, Development, Kernel Development, and Utilities. You may want to change some of the options we selected or did not select. In particular, you might want to select Anonymous FTP Server (if you want any ftp server functions) and SMB (Samba) Server (if you want Windows connections). FLEX-ES does not require these, but they may be useful in many cases.

Installation took about 16 minutes. It called for the second CD-ROM when it was approximately half finished.

Reboot	(ejects the CD)

Unfortunately, this Linux distribution does not have specific display parameters for ThinkPad displays. As a guess, we specified our ThinkPad display as an IBM T55A (which is a flat-panel LCD display) and this has worked well. As part of the monitor setup dialog (although it is more concerned with video adapter parameters) we specified 4 MB video memory, no clock chip (as recommended by the installation dialog) and 24 bit x 1024 x 768 resolution. While this may not be an optimum definition for ThinkPads, it works well and provides an excellent display.

After rebooting and logging into Linux as root, we tried the following:

# df -h

(display file system usage)

#cd /proc

#cat cpuinfo

#cat iomen

#cd /

# ls -al

(verify that normal root entries are present)

2.3.1 Installation notes

The Custom System installation option was required in order to have both X windows and xinetd active. The Laptop Installation and Workstation Installation choices both omit xinetd support, and the Server Installation choice omits X windows. We require xinetd functions and X windows functions and are forced to use the Custom installation option.
