First, thanks for helping Steven!
Perhaps, its the only micro-Linux i know with some libc6
(in its PERL-Addon). I was runing WMaker 0.52, Afterstep1.4
aterm, wine with a win95-prog., xli, TKStep, Netscape3.0x and
other stuf all under 160MB diskspace. Not bad. It looks like
a chance for Linux-Arachne but i could not test it.

There is a working DOS filesystem. I am working on it and
there are some important data on it i can not backup :(.
Can I mail the partition table to you off-list?
