Hi, Hal: OBTW, about that VectorLinux suggestion working on older machines, I have Slackware v8.0 installed on a Compaq Delinea 4/33. 80486dx33 with 32 Megabytes of RAM and a Maxtor 40 gigabyte HD. Its bios date is February 1992. It has no CD drive. I did a 'nfs' install via an 80586x120 on my LAN.
;-) I think that installing from a HD is the best way. :-| HTH, Chuck Hal MacArgle wrote: > <snip> > Perhaps the only answer is to copy the basic files from the CD to the > HD and then install from there but was hoping a better way. <snip> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
