Just tried the 3.0.14 boot floppies on a MacIIsi with 17MB RAM, 250MB
Drive, FPU and Ethernet. I chose to install via http as I have a DSL
link. The install went smoothly until the disk filled. After deleting
some of the downloaded debs the install is now continuing. So I guess
my only complaint is that there is not an option to remove the deb file
immediately after it is installed. This would help the install process
on these older Macs with small hard drives.
