Hey, there's another use for floppies !

Hello. I'm new to linux (only knowing basic commands), and I wanted to get
to know it a little better. SO, using an extra computer I have, I decided to
erase the HD (from win95), and install a brand new copy of linux. Well, this
was a small task, and took a little while to do, since I installed the
system from diskettes (i downloaded it from ftp). Since I could only fit the
"A" and the "N" sets onto disks, i'm limited to what I have on the HD.
