This document is divided into four basic sections each describing how
to install a bare-bones Linux system on a 100MB ZIP disk using a printer
port ZIP drive. The first section describes how to set up the ZIP disk
and is common to both Red Hat and Slackware distribution installations.
The second, third, and fourth sections describe how to install Red Hat
4.2, Slackware 2.2, and Debian 1.2 distributions, respectively, onto
the ZIP disk.
NOTE: I realize that Red Hat 5.0 has been released now, but between
classes and work, well let's just say that it may be late May before
I can get around to work on it. I also, hopefully, will be testing
out the other distributions.
I've finally found enough time (although I really should be studying
for a sociology test...) to update this document.
Thanks for all who emailed me with comments.
New to this document:
- The Debian distribution
- LILO on the floppy
