[Cialug] Update my Thinkpad with new release of linux

[Nathan C. Smith]

Check for new firmware for the laptop - BIOS?

You could also try a netboot install from another machine.

Subject: [Cialug] Update my Thinkpad with new release of linux

I've been playing with my new notebook and I'm trying to update to a newer version of Ubuntu.  Unfortunately, since IBM Thinkpad X21 doesn't have a native cd, I used my ucb CD reader.  The system doesn't recognize the CD as bootable and hangs up when I attempt to change boot parameters.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I  like this machine very much and this not a complaint.  Just a request for assistance.  Thanks,
Ralph Kessel
