You may want to try the Slackware distribution. You can format ONE of the
127meg HDs w/ dos and unzip a 35meg zip file, run loadin.exe and you've got
a Linux system (Slackware 4.0, Kernal 2.6.6, TCP/IP networking, Iomage Zip
support, PPP, etc). You can also download more packages and install them.
ZipSlack, as it is called, does not use the ext2 filesystem, you can format
the 2nd HD w/ ext2. It is a complete system, all you do is UnZip it! Easy
install. You don't get to pick what is installed but it is only abt 84megs
unzipped. Slackware has its own package tools (like the RedHat RPM). Goto
www.slackware.com and look for ZipSlack.
