My sentiments...
For the past three weeks I've been trying o figure out the same thing....
This is a question that _should_be answered in the FAQ!

Win95 may be frowned upon by the majority of UN*X based users and
system operators, but at least I can figure out what I need to install
the damn thing...

Please someone....answer this burning question....

a) What files are needed for a _bare_ minimal installation ?
b) What are the various distributions ?
c) What files will we need to download for these distributions ?
d) in the 2.1.5 Release why is there no root.flp image  as with other
    releases ???

PLEASE!!!!  Help all us lost souls who want an answer to our OS DILEMNA!
