They fixed that now, as far as I know?

3 cds! aww ffs... windows comes on 1 cd, lots of linux come on 1 cd, and I bet if mac OSX was released... thatd come on one cd too (although it would be the prettiest cd ever known to man kind, however would have a crap build quality and scratch easily when placed into its iCdCarryCase).

Multi cd installs do my head in :(

Yeah

http://elks.sourceforge.net/

But its very very limited and theyve also removed the handy links to stuff, something tells me its now defunct. They used to have a site from which you could download other floppy images to install bits. Worked fine in a 286 with 2mb ram. :)
