Re: [Sheflug] Re: anybody found LinuxFormat around Sheffield?

AAAGH! That sounds like my machine! I have SuSE 6.4, Caldera 2.4, BeOS 5 (PC
Plus), some old 1.2.10 (?) kernel bases thingumy, and Minix running using
Bochs pc emulator.

And yes, Windows is dead!! (Accident, but not an unwelcome one.)

Have a go at getting something working in Bochs or some other emulator (I
can only think of VMware, but you never no). It's quite an interesting
diversion. Only handles 30Mb hdd images tho'. Only good enough for Minix or
DOS

Failing that, why not try one of those from Linux Emporium? Stampede and the
like. I've never known anyone try those B4.
