    I just got my T42 model 2373CXU (WOOHOO!) and used partitionmagic so I
    could do dual boot. I installed 9.1 on it without a hitch. Even though
    I've been bagging on the 9.1 kernels for goofing up scsi hardware
    raids and ide software raids on the last update, this one went
    flawlessly. Right after install I have wired network connectivity.
    However, I do not see a driver installed for the imbedded wireless,
    although it does detect it in the hardware information part of yast.
    I'll update if I can figure out how to get wireless working.
