Re: [Trinux-talk] quick and easy

[<tb...@ti...>]

Almost any of the boot image disk will get you a bare bones system.  
Really bare bones.  Just enough to figure out that you are missing alot.

Some boot disks do behave differently, so you might try one or two.

Once you get it up to a prompt, then you can figure out which packages you 
want, and put them on a second floppy disk (or third...)  Trinux should 
ask you during boot to insert any additional package disks, or you can 
mount them (the barebones includes a mount command) and use addpkg 
directly on the package files contained on the disk.

There is usually a hard disk on most any system you boot up.  I think you 
can put packages on the (dos/windows/but_not_linux!) disk partition and 
add package from the hard disk.  This is much faster.

I hope this helps...
