[TriLUG] Kernel Question

[Jim Ray]

I did debbie, I mean debian, this morning.  No prob.  Partitioning was no
worse than with Red Hat Linux v4.2 way back in the day.  Getting into
dselect was a bit intimidating.  I couldn't believe the options - schematic
capture, printed circuit board layout, et al.

Me thinks I'll try another installation and minimize the options I select so
it will actually work.  Something went wrong, and my r&d time this morning
is over and done.

Next stop, OpenBSD...

Rocket science?  No.  The worst part is partitioning the disk.  Just 
read up a little, have the installation howto printed in front of you 
(or open on an adjacent machine) and you should be fine.  It's very 
spartan and simple, and you can easily fit the full distribution on 1GB 
with room to spare.
