I downloaded the latest version; just weeks old.
If you plan on installing it, don't believe the
instructions on the web page, but rather read the
README.TXT and similar within the package. The
current instructions on the download page are useless.

I loaded the latest Dos version of Arachne and everything
has gone well so far except that I can't download from
an ftp connection.
I can go to the ftp site and all the way into the directories

Right, there is your problem. These desktops will
slow down your 486 a lot. Your system will be *much*
faster if you use a bare window manager. I recommend

This is usually a RAM problem (too little, too much or

How much RAM does DOS see on that system?

Very good point, there... particularly since the UK is notorious for
cheap "expose" rags that will print anything to increase circulation (or
your blood pressure) and they aren't too prudish about the "if you can't
confirm, don't print" rules of the 4th estate.

Hello:
I just downloaded the latest version of Basic Linux again.
Unzipped it and tried to start it by running BOOT.BAT.
This time I had the same problem I had when I last tried it many
months ago:
"kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00"
Does anybody know how to solve the kernel
