- I am now ready to graduate from Minix to Linux to overcome many
- restrictions and limitations.
-
- I have read the FAQ but still have the following questions --
-
- Which is the best way to go having only a 9600 baud mnp5 modem with
- ftp access.
-
- 1/ I can obtain 0.98.pl5 SLS on disks and then upgrade via ftp.
-
- 2/ ftp 0.99.pl1
-
- I have already ftp'd disks a1 and a2 from tsx-11.mit.edu in
- /pub/linux/SLS and used rawrite as per FAQ and a1 fails to boot
- with Load coming up on screen the 4***** and no further disc activity.
- a2 is recognised as a 1.2meg Minix filesystem but is empty.
-
- If 2/ is the best option where can I ftp 0.99.pl1 from as above a1 a2
- disks appear to be 0.98.pl6 according to History in directory.
-
- All help gratefully received as after a year with Minix Linux appears
- to be the system I would like to have got originally.
-
- Yours Hopefully
- Phil Jones
