After the years with M$ after coming from the very beginnings of computers (command line), it's Linux time! I spent time doing research concluding Knoppix is the best choice.

I have an old ThinkPad 380D running running w2k so I know the "bloat" will run with 150Mhz and 82megs of memory. I may figure wrong but if w2k will run on there nearly anything will. You just have to have plenty of time.

I have a Knoppix 4.0 Live CD but the 380 will not boot from the CD just the floopy. Research at Knoppix Hints says that "mybootfloopy" will boot the laptop and I can load Knoppix? Can this be done and how does one get an image of mybootfloppy? I can't find info other than making a floppy from a running Knoppix installation.
