Well I have this, but didn't use it as it takes more than 96meg, and I'm trying to fit the system on a zip disk. I wanted a minimal system, so that as I install things with dpkg, I'm adding rather than overwriting. I once tried overwriting a redhat install with debian. The result was a lot of excess files, which filled the harddrive, and I was never sure who owned what. Is it safe to mix and match between gnu2.0 and the ghhk? Can I copy some parts of the gnu distribution into my minimal setup? > > None of the dpkg commands work.
