Remember?  I am going through some old boxes of stuff and have found 
some of the disks I used.  I only got the series of disks that I 
needed at the time.  It still was over 20 floppies.  Letter series 
depending on the features.  Those were the days, spending all night 
putting floppies into a fd0 and installing packages.  I was so happy 
when I tried RH and rpm's made it much easier.

I am working on getting my daughters games to work in Linux and Wine. 
  I am looking at getting transgaming's wine if I don't succeed.  My 
wife won't let me setup a dual boot which I am thankful for.
