James is running pure, unadulterated Slackware 8.1. Yes, it is a mini-installation (26mb of HD space) -- but it's 100% Slackware. The confusion arises because the author of BasicLinux (who is a strong supporter of using Linux on old PCs) produced a special installation routine to enable old PCs to install Slackware 8.1. The normal installation routine for Slackware 8.1 requires 16mb RAM. The special installation routine runs happily on a system with 4mb RAM and 80mb HD. ------------------------------------------- http://www.volny.cz/basiclinux/slack81.html ------------------------------------------- Although this installation package for Slackware 8.1 is stored at the BasicLinux site, it is quite different from BasicLinux.
