  How large are these files you have for Linux on your BBS?  I'm interested
in looking further into this OS, but only have one spare bootable partition
where OS/2 2.0 currently resides.

  I'll make sure I do a full backup before trying to install Linux here.  I
even did that before installing OS/2 since I had to repartition my hard
drives to make room for it anyway.  I can see that I am eventually going to
have to either replace one of my SCSI drives with a larger one or just add
a third one to what I have.  Removable media is starting to look more
attractive all the time and prices are coming down fast, especially on the
SyQuest 88 Meg drives.
