Linux installation on Lenovo 3000 N500

[Noam Rathaus]

Hi David,

According to:
http://www.linlap.com/wiki/lenovo+3000+n500

You laptop installs flawlessly if you use Ubuntu 8.10

And with Ubuntu 8.04 only Wireless doesn't work

Can you also try the SysRescueCd image and try and boot from it?

And list the hardware present on the machine.
