it's on sunsite somewhere -- it hit c.o.l.a a little while
ago... it's a minimal installation (a 1.2M floppy holds the whole
install kit, expanding to 3.5M installed, with rxvt, twm, fvwm, xlock,
and a dozen other useful bits...) Nicely mixed little package (and
really excellent for demos -- "watch, I start up SLIP, start the X
server, pop up an emacs from that server over there... of course, this
laptop is *faster* than that server[1], and everything else in the room,
but we'll ignore that for now :-)")

ps. Hmm, just noticed you're posting from ibm, so you may have a hard
time getting at it. let me know if you need the exact path and I'll
dig it up..
[1] server being a vax, sure it's not fair... but when I got slip up,
two people in the office (at MIT, not at Cygnus) telnet'ed in as
guest, both from machines slower than that 486/25. It's wierd, having
three people logged in to a *LAPTOP* :-) [Thanks Linus!]
