Next time try the 'swap the 300 Mb HD' trick! Surely, you stowed some
away on your highest shelf -- 'for later use' or 'as a souvenir' --
when you removed them from all those obsolete 486s? Didn't you? ;-)
Anyway, such an HD can contain enough Linux to not only run Sax or
Xconfigurator, but even X itself! If you're the veeeerrrrryyyy
patient type! It worked for me on two slightly different AST Bravos.
That is ... Sax! Not X!
