Yeah. Literacy can be a bitch sometimes. Hell, I remember a time
when "computer literacy" had "literacy" as a prerequisite. Nowadays
everybody expects to figure everything out from little hieroglyphs.
That don't work for me -- I read and use a command line. Intuitive?
Intuition is for illiterate women (NOT ALLISON -- don't hit me!)
I'm installing slackware 3.4 (2.0.30) from the zip disks to my old
compaq LTE 386s/20 via parallel port. Hoo Whoo!
Every time installer sniffs into disks (direct d/l'ed in proper
places, I get complaint from installer but things get installed
anyway. How I make this installer happy for once all?
Can't help you there. I use Yggdrassil, Red Hat and Caldera. Any
time now I'll add SuSe and Deneb. (Yes, to my shame, I've got just
enough recent Intel boxen -- but I've also got my old Tandy 6000 and
AT&T 7300s, so don't call me a quitter).
And have Happy christmas/
Happy new year to all!
Happy holidays.
