Hi,

PC 14 is a 166 Pentium with 32 meg of ram and a 540 meg hd.

I tried the .img for miniconda not miniconda-modular. The installer ran 
great. Installed first try. This is a great improvement with only one 
script to run.

On my system the network did not configure correctly. Kudzu found 
the card and I got the network configuration screen but ping returns 
Network Unreachable on the LAN and even for 127.0.0.1.

Also still no termcap for vi which means I can't run vi because I don't 
know the control sequences. I always just use the arrows. Nano still 
runs fine.

I see the loop devices after installation. Is it possible to have 
/dev/loop0 and losetup available at CD mount time? I want to mount a 
.iso image file and install from a hard drive on hdb. This would allow 
installs on systems with no CD.

I will test miniconda-modular next.

Thanks for the great work. I feel so empowered. It's like we're 
rescueing thousands and thousands of PCs from doorstop/junkheap 
status. 

Thanks,

Hairy Larry
