Well, the interesting thing is. I blew up my original FC1 last night 
during the attempted upgrade, not sure what happened, but the system was 
hosed and would only start to boot, then just die.
So I had to do a fresh FC1 install since I can only use FC1 because of 
the regular floppy boot disks.
then start the upgrade process.
so it's on a fresh hard drive with bare/basic FC1. OSS isn't even 
installed yet.

downloading all the packages (second attempt) now.

poor little laptop...lol...

but with fluxbox on it it really is a nice little ride.

will update soon, should be getting to testing consistencies in a little 
while...
