On the same ftp site, there is a 0.98 boot image. You can get that, and then
be running 0.98. You can get the gcc stuff from the pub/linux/GCC dir in the
various tar files. These untar into /usr onto your system. You then need to
get the kernel source from the pub/linux/sources/system dir and rebuild
your kernal to be able to boot off of a hard drive. A README is included in
that to help you along.
