Re: linux install

Terry ,
I partitioned 10 megs for dos so I can still get on my network and run the
machine controls
I'm using on it for now, that left me with 490 megs to play with.
it will sort of be for just control I run a telescope from it to.
I'll setup one of the other boxes later with linux for a full install
this is really just a try out to see if I can get it to install on a
thinkpad I'm using
one of my old 486 dx4100's to try it on.

Thanks
Henry ( Wood Dragon )
