Well I have this, but didn't use it as it takes more than 96meg, and
I'm trying to fit the system on a zip disk. I wanted a minimal system,
so that as I install things with dpkg, I'm adding rather than
overwriting. I once tried overwriting a redhat install with
debian. The result was a lot of excess files, which filled the
harddrive, and I was never sure who owned what.
Is it safe to mix and match between gnu2.0 and the ghhk?
Can I copy some parts of the gnu distribution into my minimal setup?

Ah yes. Well I didn't read the instructions. Just untarred the file.
I'll find them and read them.
