Hi,

I have the Thinkpad 600 w/128 Megs ram, the only problem I had was during
the install with all 128 megs of ram installed. The system will begin to
probe for devices then hang/lockup after probing for pnp devices. You
should just remove the 64 meg chip(bottum of latop, under small cover) then
you can use the PAO boot floppy, which will allows you to use a PCMIA
ethernet card(as long as it't supported), then once you have the system up
and running you need to add 

options 	"MAXMEM=(130496)

to the PAO kernel config file, recompile, reinstall the other 64 megs of
ram and everything should work.
