    You caused me to go back into my cd-rom collection and I have 
Slakware 3.3 which is a good cd and has files as late as 1996. I have a 
commercial made "cheapbytes" cd of Red Hat 5.1 (Manhattan) (Intel) and 
the files in this cd date up to 1998.


    I think I will try loading 5.1 and it should bring back all those 
old memories :-)
