I had a thinkpad with mulinux some tome ago. I can't remeber the version any
more ( Pentium V Thinkpad3x0) but I did not have to use the floppy=Thinkpad
option.
How much ram does the thinkpad has ?
Have you tried to install X11 or is it just the plain Linux that did not
work ?
To use the extend mode i had to install a Dos patch programm that was called
befor Loadlin ( but this was later wen I installed Suse Linux)
with kind regards / mit freundlichen Grüssen
