Re: Some words of encouragement

I'd say I'm quite the opposite oa a power user of ELKS - I've 
been lurking silently on this list for years.A friend of mine 
gave me his Toshiba T110+, a nice 8086 machine. And as I found 
out that it could boot ELKS.... "Embeddable Linux Kernel 
Subset." Far out!

Downloaded a disk file. Sure, it booted from a 720K floppy. 
Nice!

But, sadly, I never had much success beyound that. BUT I managed 
to edit a text file and save it back to the floppy. No mean feat 
in itself.

This may be badly embarrasing, but I felt MUCHO MACHO. Linux on 
an 8086! And I got it to work!

So i've been silently subscriped to this mailing list for years. 
This last surge of interest in ELKS really gladdens my heart. 
The exchanges about the possibly available memory models "LARGE" 
etc.

I'll never be a power ELKS user, but I sure like the fact that 
there are still people who care.
