I just installed Best Linux distributive... on a sifferent comp though...
but at the end of the installation it gave an option to create a boot
floppy, which i certainly did use, so now i have boot floppy and i hope it's
gonna work, i haven't tried it yet.

by the way did anyone try Best Linux distibutive? i used Caldera before..
but this Best Linux rocks... GUI almost as easy as Windows... it's pretty
cool!

i'm building a home network... already ordered Linksys router...

ok, later, thanks to everyone..
