Assume enough hard disk space for the whole lot but a limited amount of time/floppies to get the job done. What I would liek to do is install enough to be able to use basic functions to add further distributions that are non-essential (such as games) later. My understanding is that I can get away with just installing everything in the bin directory on the FTP sites - is that correct or do I need some other files as well? thanks, Matt Greenslade
