HM, Suse 9.x has Problem on a thinkpad, when no floppy is connected.
Anyway, FC5 installs here on my T23 without a floppy connected, give it
a try, or has your laptop both, a cdrom and a floppy in the case?

You also can try to install from web, nfs or local http. Then you have
to boot the installation with askmethod parameter, perhaps the cdrom
driver makes problems.

God Luck,
