I had previously been uncarnig about Linux installers, however, that all
changed after I used the SuSE and Caldera (from 1.3) installers. They provide
so much more useful info.
At SHS (Springfield High School) in the C++ lab, Mike McGrath and I had to do
some pretty shifty things in order to get a working install on some 50 and 60
MB HDDs. With SuSE's installer, one can aproximate how much each package will
take, thus removing a LOT of guesswork from the install.
Hmm, I think I'm going to have to queue a Caldera 2.X download tonight. I
want to burn myself a copy of that BADLY. uNF :-)
