Do not destroy the Win95 partition without saving a backup copy of your Thinkpad-specific drivers and utilities.

You may need these utilities in the future, maybe as part of a dual-boot system.

sage advice - I have a cd with all of the files I will need (downloaded from ibm).  I will admit though, that if I get this working I will not be going back to windows.  I have another laptop, one for work, and my personal pc all still using windows - I have no shortage of windows exposure -  :D

Thanks for the advice so far, I have been checking out the tldp and came across zip drive install instructions that were for debian 3.x...  not sure if they are really going to help or not, but I am still on the path.  I will of course update with any progress I make.

Why dont you try this: Take Boot image, Put it on Floppy, With modifications to it so that it will boot the LPT1 and that should be how to do it. If not I know of another Possible way. You would need to keep Win95. Though Your IBM CD should work properly, You probably need to Update Bios.:D
