+ I suggest you try FreeBSD.  I just helped a friend install FreeBSD

Actually, I think the 755cd is "different."  SLS installed out of the box on  
my 755cX.  I am not sure which boot disk I used (color or mono), but I just  
selected an IDE one and it worked.  You may want to consider installing via a  
friend's 755cx (or other IBM Thinkpad) system onto your removable hard disk.
