    But I rmeember when Slackware was on a set of 3.5" floppy disks, and i an option where N> it could be booted up from DOS.
    Oh the days before Lilo.... #-)

    Well. my first linux was Monkey Linux installed on top of MSDOS.
    That was interesting experience when I turned back to dos and I saw funny filenames tried to pretend being long names.

    Mine was slackware or the one that started with a 'y', I just can't remember it's been so long.... Took days to download the disk images is one memory,
