IBM ThinkPad R51, product name 1836Q4U. Installed via debian-bullseye-DI-alpha3-i386-netinst.iso. Expert install via text using a RW-CD. Language and keyboard are US English. File systems are all ext4, on top of LVM. Desktop: XFCE Running expert install. Usability note: It would be nice if the option to show a password in clear was above the widget for entering the password. That way one could select it or not with less tabbing. Bug??: DI incorrectly detected this machine as having EFI. Bug!!: I tried loading the firmware for the wifi if. DI asked all the right questions, and I gave it all the right answers. But it never connected. The dhcp server never got a request, and on the target hardware, ethtool-lite reported "carrier down". Graphics are slow but serviceable. Mozilla and LibreOffice are pathetically slow but usable in a pinch. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
