Admit it your just too scared to operate a piece of equipment with that amount 
of memory power!!! ha ha ha I will run the Italian traffic system from this 
beast (Italian Job -Michael Cane not the crappy new one)

Your getting to know me too well, my plan was to download from work (I'm not 
paying the call charges!) my main problem is going to be getting CD1 on to 
the laptop I'm hoping there are PCMCIA CD-ROM or Network drivers? If not I'll 
download the floppies and do it that way (Bloody hell I sound like I know 
what I'm doing! Today Lego tomorrow Tonker toys!)

I'm only loading Debian so that I can be Licky licky plus I have had this 
supposed Digital Kernel (Based on woody) for some time.

This will be a big leap in respect of installation experiance as I know 
nothing about Debian, What should and should not be installed or in actual 
fact the actual install procedure.

My plan was going to be trial and error! not very profesional but one way of 
learning the hard way.
