Yeah, I remember downloading a distro called something like
Soft Landing Systems, using my brand-new blazing fast 14.4 modem
and 5.25" floppies.

Had to fight with a fixed-sync monitor to get X going:  the first
attempt used only half the screen.  Of course, if I had to do it
again I'd have to relearn the whole process from scratch....
