Well it's available as a Linux binary so I could just set it
down in a directory with other binaries.
Perhaps there's a Linux native OLR already in this release.

It is SO much easier on my eyes.

 Well I enlarged my Linux native partition today to just under
 2 Gig with the swap file set to 128 Meg after a scandisk and
 defrag last night.
 Looks like there are a lot of GUI tools to assist moving the
 OS to the hard drive so it's going to be experiment time
 for a bit now.
 Need to find LinLoader in there somewhere so I can boot out of DOS.
 Now I'm thinking I should have given Knoppix 3 Gig instead of two.

Nope, thanks to this outstanding bootable disk you had burned for me
I've got solid backup.
Finances are really messed up just now but I'll
send something your way next month and quite possible snag
a copy of Debian Linux as well.

 I guess so!
 With all the GUI setup and configuration tools I'm finding it's
 a walk in the park.

Well this is going to be a really tough month for
a number of reasons but this CD is going to go a long way towards
making it tolerable :-)
Can't hardly wait to move it to the hard drive.

Guess I should have made a tiny type 83 partition
to store the config files off the CD ITMT but I neglected to do so.
