I can confirm the 2.98 install works on a T1 105 with one disk installed.
All be it I had to do an FTP install as it wouldn't work from the DVD but I
suspect that may be a problem with the DVD build and if I'd done it from
multiple CD's it would have worked. So my Linux experience is about to
begin, I have a few friends who use Linux so I will pester them as much as I
can and only bother list members when its necessary. I've updated the Wiki
and will try the install on my T1 100 later this week, maybe tomorrow.
