I feel your pain. I'm trying to install a minimal Ubuntu on a ThinkPad 750P. That's a screaming 33MHz 486 in my lappy! Aptiva could have a 486 or Pentium. > If anyone can tell me where to find specs for old old old IBM > machines, I'd really appreciate it (their website seems to be no help, > but I might be missing the obvious). I took a look here: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pcinstitute/psref/ It's normally very useful for that kind of thing, but there's no book for Aptiva or PS/1, which is what turned into Aptiva. I found http://members.aol.com/don5408/aptiva.html which is the Unofficial Aptiva Support Site. Just for fun, what's the 7-digit machine type?
