I do Tech support for an ISP and for my chosen "secondary workstation" I am running RedHat 7.2 on a ThinkPad 760xl (106mb ram) with blackbox windows manager. Support is ending and Fedora is a pig.

I am sooo glad DSL is here. It gives me a new option.

I am creating the boot floppy. Is there anything special I should know? Any other ThinkPad 760xl users out there??

I forgot to mention. I need to boot from a floppy so access to the boot.img is sweet. Thanks!

I have a CD but it is read only. I only have a 2.1gb hard drive So I am looking forward to my install. I just burned the ISO. = )

This ThinkPad is soo cool in a productive retro sort of way. When people see all the work I am doing on this little old thing I tell them "Hey, the power of Linux".

166mmx of terror!!
