I actually took the plunge and devoted the whole rest of my HD to Slackware
Linux 4. I'm sure anything I'd need to learn about xNIX I could learn from
Linux...I'm sure FreeBSD and Linux aren't all that different.

So here's the status of The Catbox:
750MB for DR-DOS 7.03;
2GB for Slackware Primary Partition
The rest of the 3.2GB HD for Slackware swap.

I'm still using the floppy to boot but one of these days I'll get up the
nerve to install LILO on the HD.

Take care,
