Yeah well you had to copy to floppy using rawrite in DOS, :) b1,b2 for base, a1, a2 etc for erm applications Manually partition the drive using fdisk, I also ran out of floppies so ended up re-using them of course you also had a root / boot disk to get things started off, proper cd rom support didn't work for me till kernel 2.0.30 i think. All good fun. if anyone ever moans about Linux being hard to install its time to dig out that old PC and make people do it the hardway to show them how easy it is to install now by comparison, heck back then I had to install DOS / WIndows manually using floppies.
