I found installing RedHat very easy. Just boot the kernal with the
installation ramdisk and follow the onscreen prompts.
If you think that was hard you should have tried it in the 'watchtower' days.
There was no 68k distribution available then. The Watchtower was a (very old)
dump of a ST users harddrive. You had to download & install the new packages
by hand.
