Debian 4.0r1 (Etch) on IBM/Lenovo T42 laptop

Was extremely (or at least was supposed to be) extremely straightforward, i simply followed instructions from here.
Please remember to change the distribution name in /etc/apt/source.list from STABLE to SARGE when updating the system the final last time before dist-upgrade and then from SARGE to STABLE when doing dist-upgrade.
Side note: I got the internal bay and placed the new hard drive inside. Works under linux. Timings are:
- babu:/home/swlazlowski# hdparm -tT /dev/hda
- /dev/hda:
- Timing cached reads: 1108 MB in 2.00 seconds = 553.99 MB/sec
- Timing buffered disk reads: 102 MB in 3.02 seconds = 33.80 MB/sec
- babu:/home/swlazlowski# hdparm -tT /dev/hdc
- /dev/hdc:
- Timing cached reads: 1348 MB in 2.00 seconds = 673.49 MB/sec
- Timing buffered disk reads: 122 MB in 3.01 seconds = 40.58 MB/sec
- The hard drive is: Seagate Momentus 7200.1 ST980825A - Hard drive - 80 GB - internal - 2.5" - ATA
