- I just installed linux on my 386, with a 60MB dos partition
- and a 60MB linux partition. Only had it about a week, and
- have some problems because I don't know what I'm doing, but
- it's free, you can get it at several sites...try
- doing:
- archie -s linux
- anyway, I think you can get it at banjo.concert.net in
- the pub/Linux directory.
-
- BTW, it's free (but copyrighted, I believe), not shareware
- or anything. Good luck.
