Release notes for Linux for MS-DOS filesystems

Release version: 0.1.a

----------
This release of linux (based on the 1.1.76 kernel) has been configured for the
following hardware:
IDE HD controller
386/486 processor with or without FP
4 MB minimum RAM
13 MB minimum free HD space
No networking card
Network software

SLIP/CSLIP/PLIP
No support for either networking cards or SCSI HD controllers has been compiled
in.
This release is designed to sit on to of the MS-DOS filesystem, eliminating the
need for repartitioning your hard drive. It is a minimal linux release,
and is specifically designed to support SLIP/CSLIP/PLIP connections to a
remote server. This release supports elm, smail, telnet, ftp, as well as
the usual familiar networking utilities. This release also supports irc.
INSTALLATION
------------
To install, follow these steps:
1. Download LINUX.ZIP to your system.
2. cd to \.
3. Do "pkunzip -d linux.zip"
4. Run INSTALL.BAT. This will boot linux up in single user mode.
5. When asked for a password, just hit return.
6. At the "#" prompt, type "inst". This will start up the configuration
routine. Fill in the blanks - when you are done, press CTRL-D to
configure the system and reboot with the new configuration.
7. When the system reboots to DOS, type "linux". This will bring the
system up in multiuser mode.
8. Congratulations! You are now running linux. :)
Hopefully, you're not a new linux user, because this release contains no
source code for anything, nor does it contain much in the way of basic
documentation. It does contain a minimal set of manpages, though.
and I'll try to help. Unfortunately, I can't help anyone with basic linux or
UNIX questions. :(
