Cool!
Now, if only I could figure out exactly which files / directories Linux 5.0
install requires, I'll be all set! I am mostly an WinNT / PC guru, and very
new to Linux. I used to run RedHat 4.2.1, but nuked it due to a bad drive.
Now am trying to install 5.0... Got /i386/... files but install keeps
failing. I'll try to suck 'em up again, tonight. Am I doing something
wrong? I also downloaded entire SPRMS subdirectory, all 316Megs :-O...
Help is greatly appreciated.
Vadim.
