Good old days. I remember trying to shoehorn Slackware onto an IBM PS/2 m55 with 2.9mb RAM. Unluckily for me, it was an MCA system with an ESDI disk, with the MCA support very experimental, and I ended using a parport ZIP100 to help with a minimal install. One day I got back from school and some dude from one of the Usenet groups called me on my land line asking for the steps.
