Before you kill yourself, check the bios for cdromm booting on tht thinkpad. I beleive it should happily boot from cd. Thos cdroms can be media finicky. Hold the F1 key on power on to enter bios. go to startup options. Not sure if they introduced this yet, but some allow f12 to puit amenu up on startup for boot devices, where you can select what you want. if not, set the boot order to cdrom, hdd.
If you can boot the cd then, you're erady to go.
Mount hda, open a xshell ast root and use cfdisk to delete the existing parititons and creat the new ones as you want. DSL should run very nicely on that laptop.
Good luck!
