[ale] bios matter of war

[Douglas Bridges]

You cannot replace the bios of the Thinkpad with another BIOS. Laptops have
a lot of specialized information in their bios (especially with all the
APM), and other BIOSes would have no idea how to deal with the commodity
hardware. There is a really good Linux-on-thinkpad mailing list. Go to
http://www.bm-soft.com/~bm/tp_mailing.html. As a warning, don't use the
lm-sensors package or sensors-detect on the thinkpad. It will roast it.
