Hi all:

Just a quick note to let you all know about my success installing
Debian/woody on an old 386 laptop I got from my uncle.

The trick I used to make the install work pretty much followed the
trick from the 4-MB-HOWTO, but I took it to the next step and used
a null-modem SLIP connection to upload the rest of the install media
to the laptop (no eth0).  Even so the install b0rked (for reasons
unknown; out of memory perhaps?), but not before I had a bootable
system.  After that, a little dpkg magic fixed everything up.

I can hardly wait to install a 2.6 kernel on it!  :-)

J
