The tecra rescue disk worked fine for me to install on my THinkpad 365XD.
I would recommend that it be called something other than 'tecra' since -
at least to me - its biggest seeling point is the zImage kernel (at least
I think that that is the case).
Thanks for such a great distribution,

There is no need to worry.
First of all, patch files are generated by `diff' and not `patch'.

There is a year-2000 problem we know of that is connected to your PC's
BIOS and clock chip. The BIOS and clock chip of many systems store a

which is all software. Linux uses a program to read the hardware clock
into the software
I saw one in a recent Fry's Electronics flyer:

Is Ultra ATA same as Ultra DMA and Ultra DMA/33 ?
And if a drive is ultra DMA do I have to get a different adapter than the
