Hello all
I've looked on some Linux history sites but can't see any reference to some experiences I can vaguely recall.
Some time ago, I used to install Linux on my PC and getting it going involved the following procedure.
Anyone know any more or had the same experience?
Cheers
Andrew
I've looked on some Linux history sites but can't see any reference to some experiences I can vaguely recall.
Some time ago, I used to install Linux on my PC and getting it going involved the following procedure.
- Use an external modem on my PC to dial into my College VAX in the evening.
- Connect to the FTP server and ftp.funet.fi (I think!)
- Schedule the file transfer (a, b, c and so on FDD images)
- Connect to the VAX the following night and drag down the diskette image
- Repeat over several days to get a full set of disks ( limits were in place)
- Write disk images to diskettes
- Boot from diskette on PC and install
Anyone know any more or had the same experience?
Cheers
Andrew
