Install Ubuntu notes on the ThinkPad

machine configuration

LENOVO/IBM Thinkpad T43 266871U:

Intel Pentium M (Dothan) 760 2.0ghz/intel 915PM chipset/512M DDR2 533MHz memory (I added to 1G)/ATI mobility Radeon "TFT" High-screen 1400x1050/80g SATA hard Drive/24x24x24x/8x combo/Intel 802.11a/b/g wireless network card/Bluetooth/Gigabit NIC/fingerprint identification

Linux and laptop

From a notebook point of view, IBM's support for Linux has been good, and from the Linux distribution point of view, although I did not use too many versions, but after the successful installation of Ubuntu, without any configuration of the machine's fn+f2, FN+F3 and other shortcuts and suspend to memory, Suspend to the hard disk and the CPU by the speed by the step frequency automatic regulation can work, I believe that can be like Ubuntu such a support to the notebook of the release of the estimate is not much (perhaps I see too little, but when the Ubuntu finished after you found notebook 95% The above features are working well without any effort, and you will be grateful to the people in the Ubuntu community for these conveniences. ）

Partition

Because the ThinkPad has already used a hidden partition to do the HPA at the factory, and a hard drive can have up to four primary partitions, with the extended partition taking up a share, the selection of the partitioning scheme is limited. My zoning method is as follows:

代码:
Device　　 Filesystem　　　Size　Used　Avail　Use%　Mounted on
/dev/sda1　ntfs　　 9.8G　2.5G　7.3G　26%　/windows
/dev/sda3　ext3　　 9.7G　2.8G　6.4G　31%　/
/dev/sda5　fat32　　 30G　13G　17G　44%　/media/data
/dev/sda6　ext3　　 21G　4.9G　15G　26%　/home

Where SDA1 is a Windows system, NTFS format, SDA5 is the FAT32 disk that holds some data shared with Linux, while the hidden partition occupies sda2 and is not mounted. /And/home are all using a more generic EXT3 file system (beginning with XFS, but Grub is not supported)

Source.list

First boot system after the first thing is to modify apt source.list, my broadband access is Netcom's line, the following two kinds of schemes for netcom users should be relatively fast.

* The mirror image of Shanghai Jiaotong University
