[ALE] Installfest, survival of the cursed Mandrake box.

[Matthew Magee]

Glad that you were able to restore everything!
What happened?  I was so busy with my task, that I didn't get to check out the 
scene.

If you really want Slack, I think I know who to ask.  I got a good bit of 
Slackware-specific help at the installfest from a young man named Kevyn (sp?)  
that was invaluable in getting Linux on my old ThinkPad.  I would also like 
to thank Danny Cox and Harold Bieber.  Couldn't have done it without you.

We were able to install Slackware 9.1 with Fluxbox, Mozilla, and Abiword.  I 
still have 500 megs of storage left on a 1.3g drive.  That's better than 
Win95 was after the anti-virus and firewall was installed!
