If any brand of computer will install any dist., but not all others,
something is wrong, something that needs investigated.

The latest Slackware (Ver. 8.1) requires 16 meg. of ram for X system,
and 4 for LINUX. I read: `the text based install program is looking dated'
but any video display and not much ram is needed.
There are a lot of slip ups, giving the tools to make root and boot disks
in 1.2 meg floppies when 2.4 meg is insufficient now.
(I learned that the hard way!)
