I know 332 MHz doesn't sound right ... but I'm sure that's what it says on the IBM nameplate on the front. I'll verify this tonight > More different than that, 140 is more recent.

I'd like to install woody on one drive so I can boot it up and say "Look Linux runs, it's stable and useful" and then have the other to install, boot, and otherwise help test the new stuff. Unfortunately, I can't get _anything_ to install (I even tried a BSD, but quickly realized I was in too deep there!). The unstable stuff I'm trying now has gotten me the furthest along. MikeM
