For this kind of machine, I hope you are not considering X. My first install was on UMSDOS, and my Pygmy Linux is also on a UMSDOS partition even today. With this installed, I do not need any rescue disk. The drop in speed is not at all significant for most tty based apps. The maximum demand I suppose would be your postgres/ mysql. Since it is going to be a single user access, there should NOT be any significant drop in speed. You also have the option of installing debian if you are on the net.

Settings in .bash_profile may not be otherwise effective under X. Copy contents of your .bash_profile to .bashrc to make aliases available. ####<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>######################################## : _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
