- Philip, the SLS distribution of Linux is available in a mirror of the
- ftp'able parts of the tsx-11 archive here at src.doc.ic.ac.uk
-
- Look in /public/computing/operating-systems/Linux where you will find
- a 'mirror' of the nic and tsx-11 archives. I've installed SLS from the
- files here and I must say how impressed I am with SLS - it really is good!
-
- One problem I've not resolved yet, though, is that uucico core-dumps
- and so my mailer is broken under SLS 0.98pl5, but I managed to
- recompile a kernel with a UK keyboard ok, and the mono X-server works
- on my Elonex PC320X (Oak VGA).

- Tony.
