I have two of those, a 486 and a Pentium. You *can* get the base system on floppies on the FTP site somewhere. (For some reason, they don't have it on the CDs.) But, it's a very *basic* system -- not much more than you get with busybox on the install media, except you get to use bash instead of ash. Also, be advised this is 20 floppies at 1.4 megs apiece, and you still won't have a usable system -- I mean, you're stuck with 'more' as a pager. I guess I'm spoiled. :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
