- I just found out about Linux about a month ago. Started reading this group,
- and was slightly overwhelmed by all the "Help me install this..." messages.
- I tried to grasp all I could form the FAQ's and other help documents.
- Even though it still didn't quite make sense, I ftp'ed the MCC Interim release
- of .96c last week and installed it on a 20 Meg partition of my 386sx-16.
-
- Just a word of thanks... As this is great!
-
- Everything went pretty much without a hitch. I used shoelace and now have
- available either my 20 Meg Linux partition, or 60 Meg DOS partition, and
- no problems thus far.
-
- Sure I had a few problems. Either I didn't read things quite right, or
- they're missing from the documentation. But most of them were easily solved,
- like shoelace not finding the Kernel until I copied it into the root directory,
- etc.
-
- Well I'm eager to start playing with it...
