[Trinux-talk] Options For A Newbie

[C.M. O. <ow...@pr...>]

I have installed and uninstalled a few Linux distributions on my primary
workstation.  When I found out about Trinux, I was immediately interested.
My problem:
I don't really know enough about Linux to decide on how to go about
getting/installing Trinux.
I currently use a Dual PIII 800 system with 512MB RAM, 1 18.2GB SCSI HDD (C:
in W2K NTFS), 1 9.1GB SCSI HDD (D: in W2K NTFS).  I don't mind using a boot
floppy for the kernel load, but can I drop packages on the root of my
current D: drive and have them load.  I realize this is a big request, but
if anyone could "baby" me through this (where and how to get the packages on
D: properly, and how to create the latest boot floppy, etc) I would be most
appreciative.  (BTW I definately need a bash shell with it ... and what
kernel is Trinux currently using?)
