Remember? I am going through some old boxes of stuff and have found
some of the disks I used. I only got the series of disks that I
needed at the time. It still was over 20 floppies. Letter series
depending on the features. Those were the days, spending all night
putting floppies into a fd0 and installing packages. I was so happy
when I tried RH and rpm's made it much easier.

I am working on getting my daughters games to work in Linux and Wine.
I am looking at getting transgaming's wine if I don't succeed. My
wife won't let me setup a dual boot which I am thankful for.
