Re: Usefullnes of the EMC List

["Peter Cook" <kf2qd-at-terraworld.net>]

I have more experience playing with Slackware - Slack 7 came in 32 zip files
that expanded to give a complete install. Now I am working with 8 and with
the other Brian's help (most of that was with my computer at work before I
was laid off...) and got an install that lets me play, just not compile at
present. If you would sned me a message off the list I could burn you a CD
of the Slackware install that works for me - you have to set up for your
hardware - bus or usb mouse, and X11 configuration - I have unzipped the
file on 3 different computers and had it run - (the poorman's exhaustive
test...) It has worked with Win98 & 2000. For 200 I had to make a dos boot
disk, on 98 I shutdown to a dos prompt and run a dos batch file and i 2
minutes I'm in linux.

If you are interrested let me know - NO REPARTITIONING REQUIRED -
