I recently obtained a beast which appears to be a PDP 11/53+, and I want to run some Unix on it (Wahey!). I've got a small problem though: It only has one(!) RD32A disk (42MB). I know that this probably won't be enough to hold a complete distribution, but which release can I install bare-bones on that disk? I might be able to slip in another MFM disk (but I don't have something bigger than 21 MB at hand), provided I can low-level format it. Your help is greatly appreciated.. -- Martijn van Buul - Pino(a)dohd.cx - http://www.stack.nl/~martijnb/ Visit OuterSpace: mud.stack.nl 3333 Received: (from major@localhost) by minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) id AAA05774 for pups-liszt; Tue, 20 Jun 2000 00:31:17 +1000 (EST) (envelope-from owner-pups(a)minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au)
