potato info

[Alan DuBoff]

I want to install potato and have a couple questions.

1) is the potato baked fairly decently at this time?

2) what do I need to grab to do an install? I would like to build the CDs, and
assume that I can build a set of CDs similar to what Cheapbytes sells (or in
potato's case, doesn't sell at this point in time).

I want to download the potato directories to a partition on my Thinkpad so I
can burn the CD images.

My plan is to use a 2.5gig partition that has Red Hat 2.0.36 on it, blow that
away and download the potato directory (I have another partition on the disk
with Red Hat 2.2.7 +mods), then create the CDs and install to that partition.
Is 2.5gig enough for all the images in potato?

I do have Debian 2.0 r3 on a set of Nov-98 InfoMagic CDs, but my guess is I'm
better off skipping that and going straight to potato. Ultimately, I want to
get it on a new machine I'm building, and almost have all the parts aquired,
the remaining parts are supposed to be in on Monday (when I'll pick up the
case, CPUs, memory, mobo). I want potato as this machine will be a dual PIII
Xeon.

Any comments on the best approach?
