[Doogee]

peanut linux is lookin good so far for the 266 machine

You might want to try Debian. I used a network installation. All you need is 2 floppies. I needed about 800mb free space and all I had to download was 250-300mb. And that was for a desktop installation.

You might want to check it out.

not a chance, one slack iso was like 600+meg.

Evil Entity is based on slackware, its only 450Mb (i'm pretty sure)

Meh, ZIpSlack.

[Doogee]

hmmm zipslack looks tantalising. EXCEPT i dont want to HAVE to have it as umsdos. isnt there some kinda etx2/3 version maybe?

[Calum]

well isn't zipslack designed specifically to use on a fat partition? you need real slackware to do it on ext2 don't you? maybe evil entity would be best like the man said.

You don't have to have fat, because I heared of people installing a distro fromZipSlack (e.g they install ZipSlack ad then addon packages, etc.)

whats with the 600meg limit ive hit atleast 3.5 gig's in a months, and that is being very conservitive

[Doogee]

its australia, its telstra. we get a 3 gig limit and weve used lots but we wanna get right up near the boundary to make the most of our limit.
