Sorry about giving an answer that was already given. To add
some value to the discussion, let me just say that in order
to install Linux via NFS on a Thinkpad 755CED you could take
Dave Hind's non-working bootdisk/rootdisk pair and follow
the instructions in SLAKWARE.FAQ for replacing a bootdisk
kernel:
Q: How do I make a Slackware bootkernel disk with this new kernel I made?
A: OK, well you grab an existing one like the "bare.gz", put it on a floppy,
and do this:
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt (this mounts it)
cat zImage > /mnt/vmlinuz (put the new kernel in place)
rdev -R /mnt/vmlinuz 0 (mount read-write)
rdev /mnt/vmlinuz /dev/fd0H1440 (use that drive, or /dev/fd0h1200)
rdev -r /mnt/vmlinuz 1440 (set the ramdisk size, or use 1200 with 1.2 meg)
lilo -r /mnt (reinstall lilo)
umount /mnt (that's it! you're done! :^)
I have a working 1.2.2 kernel which I will place on
cs.nyu.edu:pub/local/fox/linux/pcmcia-k.tgz.
