Hi there, i am not planning to give you tips like what edition other ppl
have
done that for me i believe ;-) I think that the best thing you can do is
just
start and see where the rabbit whole is going. First off al you have to
partition you hard drive in 2 partitions 1 twice as big as your Random
Acces Memory (RAM) so in your case 96 Megabyte the rest of the disk
you just use for the other partition.When you've finished doing that you can
start the installation. (oh yeah do not format the partitions yet!!) the
following
step is that you have to make 2 disks to boot from one to boot your system
en one to load the kernel (so called root disk and boot disk) when you have
finished doing that (the readme is telling how to do that) you can start the
installation wich shouldn't be any problem, i would recommend Slackware
Linux because in my opinion it's the best (and hardest) way to learn linux
do not expect that you wil install Linux the first time correctly it takes
practise..
if you have any other questions just put them in the news...

Greetingz and suc6
