I remember I had a 486/33 with 8Mb RAM and an 89MB drive back then, which was quite a well-specced system for the time (the people I bought my PC from messed up and sent me a 486 for the price of the 386 that I'd actually ordered :-) have a look at: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/historic-linux/distributions/sls/1.03/ FWIW, I should still have a copy of the install media backed up to QIC tape, but I'm not sure what version that'll be. I remember thinking how cool Linux was because it had xearth and Windows didn't :-) cheers Jules
