Hello Roy -

RJT> Why reservation? 

Linux 'distros' have to exclude a few things to make more room
for multiple 'Microsoft Office' clones, multiple GUIs, and
multiple GUI browsers. ;-) 

CA>> It seems that they are but I can't say from first hand

RJT> They seem to be included in Slackware 8.1, which is the

Did you ever get SlackWare v8.1 installed on anything yet or
are you still testing drive/memory/motherboard combinations?
