Yeah it took at while at 2400.  I installed on a DX50 with 8MB ram and
213MB disk.  It was huge (at the time).  I think I gave linux 80MB of
the disk.

To think it was actually feasible to backup the HD contents to a small
stack of floppies, then repartition and reformat the disk and restore
the data in a couple of hours.
