Me too, on floppy disks, kernel 2.0.something... I remember I struggled to get X11 running, so I tried with redhat next

Getting X to work required mucking about with a textfile where you specified parameters directing the operation of the electron gun inside a CRT monitor that were so down to the metal, that you could create your own resolution or even blow up your monitor.

Ah, those were the days ;)
