Hmm. 1992 machine. 8 megs of RAM? 486? I bought a new machine in
1992 with that configuration. Had to restrict to a 200 meg hard drive,
since a 400-meg one was just too expensive. I'm impressed, but a bit
skeptical, that you are still using such equipment.
BTW, I used linux on that machine from the start: 0.96c kernel. It
even ran X reasonably well, though I had to first boot into Windows
(3.1) and re-boot linux to get the video card to work.
