Is there a way to install F8 on it? Thanks. Francois

Install in text mode, then use the nvidia packages from the livna repo.

More specific help here:
http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Fedora_8_on_a_ThinkPad_T61p

OK, I did what I found on the wiki, except the part about Mouse, as I do not
have a pb with it.
Now everything works like a charm, except one very important thing :
wifi ;-(
Now when I boot, I have a message like that : "error for wireless
request "set mode (8B06)". Set failed on device wlan0. invalid argument.

I have that message since I've updated the packages. When I just installed
F8 from the DVD, I didn't get that warning, but the wifi didn't work
though.
The little led that shows that wifi is activated is off.
Thank you for your help. Francois

What kind of wireless card?

Silly thing to check: Is the switch on the front lip of the case set to
"on"?

It isn't silly, it's bitten me once and now i always check there first when someone says "my
wireless isn't working?" , especially if they say it was working the day before. The BIOS is
another place to check, sometimes the ethernet\wireless can be turned on or off there...
