   Installed #Ubuntu 12.04 on this ThinkPad a while back, then upgraded it to 14.04. I wonder if it can go all the way through 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, 22.04 and successfully end up on 24.04...

     @xtaran @popey My go-to software for that is PLOP Boot Manager, it usually allows me to boot whatever I want from any device. I mostly use it to boot VirtualBox from physical USB, but I have also used it to boot from USB on old servers that didn't support it out of the box.

     @popey: Sounds familiar. Did that with #Debian some years ago as performance at the #VCFe because I wanted to install the most recent version of Debian possible on a vintage #Thinkpad 760XD: Pentium MMX w/166MHz + 48 MB RAM

     The big issue was that the Thinkpad did support a CD-ROM drive, but couldn't boot from it. So I had to start with the last Debian release which still supported installing from floppies: Debian 3.0 Woody

     I then upgraded until Debian 8 Jessie—the last release running on a P1.
