(Redirected to -questions) Get the dists/bin/* files, and whatever you might need from the other distributions. In particular, dists/src/ssys* comes handy (the kernel sources), as well as dists/doc/* and dists/manpages/*. If you want X11, also get dists/XF86312/ (there's a README). Don't forget to get the boot floppy (floppies/...) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
