I'm so happy! After a slight learning curve, I made boot floppies & dsl 1.4 install cd.
The target pc (free!) was rescued from garbage, and bogged down with Win98 + junk. It is a Pentium 75 Mhz, 24 mb ram, with two 800 mb hard disk drives.
I used a lowram boot to get started. Rest of install went pretty much as instructions said.
DSL is just the trick for this legacy pc ... Win98 was way too slow and bogged down to use. With DSL, this old pc is now usable again. Especially for this unix/c & perl programmer :-)
NICE WORK!!!
