|
|
|
|
<P>This document is divided into four basic sections each describing how
|
|
to install a bare-bones Linux system on a 100MB ZIP disk using a printer
|
|
port ZIP drive. The first section describes how to set up the ZIP disk
|
|
and is common to both Red Hat and Slackware distribution installations.
|
|
The second, third, and fourth sections describe how to install Red Hat
|
|
4.2, Slackware 2.2, and Debian 1.2 distributions, respectively, onto
|
|
the ZIP disk.
|
|
<P>NOTE: I realize that Red Hat 5.0 has been released now, but between
|
|
classes and work, well let's just say that it may be late May before
|
|
I can get around to work on it. I also, hopefully, will be testing
|
|
out the other distributions.

|
|
for a sociology test...) to update this document.

Thanks for all who emailed me with comments.
