Hi Ben;
I thought of trying to login again, but I couldn't get the processors'
attention. CntrlC got me: "Press enter to continue". Enter got me back
to locked up inside elvis. He must have been hungry.
Now I know 2 things: Stay away and :q!
It was Dragonlinux I loaded. I must say I'm amazed at myself.
In a previous post I had said:
quote: ==================================
I finally successfully downloaded and installed Dragonlinux 0.76.
The rumours of a corrupted RAR are false.
Those reporting errors were probably having the same sort of problems with RAR
that I had for several days.
The good news is that the download is 6 x 1.44Mb files that expand into only
21.843,313Mb. Because that's 3123 files - mostly trivial little things, the
real usage on my disk (FAT16 - 4k sectors) is 25.608,192Mb - still not bad.
endquote:================================
Was I INSANE ? 25Mb is still not bad ????
What's included could be accomplished in 1 or 2 megs of real code.
Geez, Lynz is about 850kb. For a TEXT based browser.
Arachne core at 444k for a GRAPHICAL browser is a bloody MARVEL !
Grumble, grumble. At least it uses the DOS filesystem.
Surely a negative point to Linux purists. <g>
