I can't get LILO to load from the HD on this little guy so I use a boot
floppy, mounting the root from hda1.

I booted it and ran '/lib/libc.so.6' and got, among other things:
GNU C Library stable release version 2.2.3
Compiled by GNU CC version 2.95.3 20010315
Compiled on a Linux 2.4.4
So, I gotta find a browser that will match that.

I'd have to find another special linear RAM card that is bigger than 8MB.
These little ThinkPads are impressive for their time. The keyboard pops
up on hinges and you can swap the floppy, HD and memory out without
tools! I just don't have more memory.
