Hello Wayne - 

--8<--cut 

CA>> The version 1.5 ATP is good and small too. :-) 

WC> Hmm not sure that's the one I've got so I'll check and
WC> maybe snag that one on your recommendation. 

It is most likely v1.5, I don't think I've seen anything newer
or even older out there. 

WC> BTW when you went from Basic Linux ramdrive had you read
WC> documentation on how to do so? I never found that
WC> documentation. 

I never created a Linux partition. However the instructions you
are looking for are a separate archive linked from Steven's
webpages (possibly mine too) that is something like 720k in
size? 

WC> I took the information on how to load the game tetris which
WC> I've no interest in loading and extrapolated that to
WC> install the hard drive Linux partition from the ramdrive
WC> version after establishing a second ramdrive to hold the
WC> bas-hd.tgz and go file. Seemed to work just fine. 

I'm waiting for another machine here before making that move. I
really don't want to multi-boot. I don't trust myself to keep
everything separate. I am supposed to be getting a 450mhz with
192 meg here sometime soon. 

CA>> I am easilly turned away by 'ugly' these days. Ugly code,
CA>> ugly execution, lots of ugliness out there. ;-) 

WC> I'm starting to feel very much the same way. 

WC> After years of no trojans or viruses suddenly they're in
WC> near every mail download with many of them coming from one
WC> particular ISP. Think I pissed someone off? Anyway it's fun
WC> to think of them cranking out those trojans when my
WC> protocols stop them dead in their tracks. They're using an
WC> annonymous remailer program as they're coming from the same
WC> place but with random sender names. First one some months
WC> back really messed up my system but that caused me to do a
WC> clean reload and slimmed down the bloat considerably so
WC> that was actually a big plus. Yesterday got sloppy and let
WC> one through and it took me almost a minute to clear it :-)
WC> Clearing suspect mail at the server before downloading has
WC> cut the crap in my inbox by 80 percent after a couple
WC> months. Can't wait until I figure out the SMTP
WC> authorization for Verizon using Linux. 

This doesn't happen to me since I'm using W31, DOS, or BL when
I access the Internet. 

Dealing with 'security' issues is an adjustment I will need to
make if I keep the W2K presently installed on the 450mhz
machine.
