Thanks to all who replied to my question
about install fests. Reading those posts
and the followup messages about your
experiences of the recent RH tour,
I decided to hop up to Portland to
catch the tour there.

The folks in Portland helped me
so I'm now running RH 8 on the
IBM TP 600.

To the gentleman who commented
about recompiling the kernel,
yes I do have hardware to support;
the mwave internal modem (is it a
Winmodem?). IBM has released the
source - I have it on a ZIP disk.
RH8 supports USB ZIP drives (RH
6.2 didn't) so my next project
is to untar that and install it.

Again, thanks to all who helped
me so much and thanks to the
Portland group K12linux.org
