Things have certainly become much easier than they were in 1.x days. First download and write about thirty floppy images, boot the first one and start answering questions before swapping floppies for the next hour or so. Say words that may not be printed when the twentieth floppy gives a read error and you have to start all over again. Once you have it all installed build a kernel with the drivers you need and without the ones you don't so that you can actually use all the hardware. <mutter>yooferterday dunno how easy they have it</mutter> -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
