right now i'm playing with dascherstein (sp?) lrp cd.   it's really nice.

it boots a floppy and takes packages off of a cd.  much nicer than the
firewall i'm using (not playing with) now, eigerstein, where everything has
to fit on one floppy.

i have one thing to say about lrp.   anthony better pray he never meets me in
a dark alley.   ;-)

even the CD image is like 16MB.   not a bad download with dsl.

can you use your wife's dsl?   kernel download is only a few minutes for me.

if not, i can burn a copy for you at the next meeting.
