Thanks for this - looks quite interesting, I hadn't heard of it before.
Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset <http://www.elks.ecs.soton.ac.uk/> is the
current home page I think if anybody's interested. Don't suppose this
could be offered as a distro option at the Install fest? ;-) I'm
wondering if anybody has any ideas on how I could get the disk images
for ELKS onto 360 K 5.25" floppies (and if anybody knows of a company
still making these disks I'd love to hear about it - running dangerously
low here). Basic setup - XT currently connected with null modem cable to
my main Linux box, running terminal emulation using an ancient version
of Crosstalk Communicator for DOS, so basically just acting as a tty
(except when playing games at the massively overclocked speed of 10 MHz
- hell the normal speed is 4.77, imagine getting this % of speed
increase from todays processors :-). Does anybody know how I could
transfer the ELKS disk images to the XT using this setup, and then write
to floppy using rawrite from there? Or would I be better off pulling the
5.25" drive out of the XT, sticking it in my main Linux box, writing the
images using dd, moving the drive back and so on? My eventual goal is to
run Quake III for Linux on the XT, is this unrealistic? ;-) Any
thoughts/useful HOW-TO's/web pages etc?
TIA, Tom
