I have a Toshiba 415CS (same as the 410CS). 2.1 installs without trouble, including X. Rebuilding the kernel with psm0 got the track-point mouse working. The only thing other thing required was to switch the disk controller to 'Standard IDE'. The LCD panel is 800x600x256 (slightly less painful!). I have only 8Mb of memory, but another 8 are coming. I have also succeeded in getting 2.0.5 running on a Toshiba 1910CS. [I have no connection with Toshiba, except as a customer] John
