Previous post in this series: https://www.guldmyr.com/making-use-of-ibm-laptop-t40-part-1/ I'm going to try to put ubcd on an old USB pen I have, lots easier than burning a CD/DVD. Which I may not even have. It's an old Jens of Sweden 1GB mp3-player, that doesn't start unless plugged …

Next project coming up! I want to have the laptop running so that I can have some use for it. Maybe run some services on it instead of in a VM on my desktop? But also so that I can chat while playing games ;) I want to put Linux on …
