I can second this, though I can't remember which version of Slackware I started with. It used a kernel from the 1.2.x series, I remember that. Ah, yes, that was fun. I downloaded the A disk set from a BBS called Alba Maximus (which I'm sure was based somewhere in Glasgow -- it was certainly a local call) using a 14k4 modem. Then I repartitioned our 40MB (!) hard disk on the 386/25 with 8MB RAM and installed Slackware. Of course, I nuked it all (or did we replace the hard disk?) to install the beta of Windows '95 I'd acquired a while later... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wossname.org.uk/~mathie/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------
