snipped ... A few months later, I visited Jonathan Marsden at Asian Theological Seminary (street parallel to Timog) with a box of diskettes, and copied all eight or ten diskettes of the SLS (Soft Landing System) distribution from his portable PC. This was the version that I installed for my C programming class. The machine was an 386 with 8MB of ram, and I had between 10-20 students. The 386 was hooked up to our network on the same bus as a 16-port terminal server. Linux was then 0.99pl13, It was definitely 0.99 pl 12 as I copied it from Jonathan Marsden too later. > Eric Pareja: http://lists.q-linux.com/pipermail/plug/2001-July/007398.html snipped... >Compiling the kernel back then took a long time.

Comments ... it took me 14 hours to compile the kernel (back then, in order install support for a particular hardware, you need to compile it in the kernel. Modules were unheard of then)...on a 386DX with 4 MB. I later realized the reason why it took that long....I did not enable the swap (you need to configure this yourself) -- it was swapping in memory...or literally thrashing in a very limited amount of memory -- but it did not hang!!! > I emailed Jonathan Marsden a few months ago.
