Zonker --
I know all about those floppies, having d/l them from sunsite.
If memory serves me right, my first CD was 3.0, when did Linux switch from a.out
to elf?
I once asked Patrick (and he answered) about the relationship between Slack and
SuSE,
he said it was basicaly just trading info, not actually developement.
Then then was MCC ?

Thanks for reply,
