Re: [aclug-L] Linux on store shelves

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I dunno... at the time I did that, Debian 2.0 was in the final stages of
"frozen"... I ended up installing Debian 1.3--which installed just fine in
4 megs of RAM, then before actually installing any of the packages, I
installed apt and did a distribution upgrade to the then-frozen (now
obsolete) Debian 2.0 (hamm), because the 2.0 boot disks required 6mb.  I
believe there was a lowmem boot image available, but it had some bugs
(hopefully they were resolved before Debian 2.0 was acutally released), so
I was unable to use that to install.
