BL3 floppy loads in about 5 minutes and then does not even see disk two on 
a 700MHz Thinkpad which we recently resurrected.  (If I lift it to look 
for the model number the LCD goes white).  A couple of older Compaqs also 
load BL3 slowly but eventually do work.

hwinfo video is ridiculously slow, and syschk says the video speed is 
2K/sec.

Blueflops linux (2006, kernel 2.6) runs at normal speed, svgalib links2 
works.  It comes with a small busybox, e3, pppd, dbclient (ssh), Rhapsody 
small IRC program, the network driver for the built-in card that I found 
for this laptop which got me online, and links2 - is there some way to 
download a file from my home directory with links?  No X, ftpget or wget.
Would Rhapsody work with BL?

Links text displays pale pink on pale green.  I like BL better but the 
newer kernel might be needed for this year 2000 laptop.  Will try BL2 
next.
