Maybe not :-).

I've just got round to installing linux on my hard disk, after being 
suitably impressed with the 0.11 bootable images.  I've today ordered
a second disk so until that arrives I'm sorry that I won't be doing any
programing.

A couple of points:

In the INSTALL documents it asks you to (in a for loop):
cp -r /dev /user
Not surprisingly this hangs as cp trys to read the devices and doesn't cp
special devices (well it didn't for me!). Can I suggest the documentation
changes to:

uncompress < /usr/bin/tar.Z > /user/tar
/user/tar xf - bin dev etc usr tmp | (cd /user ; tar xfv -)

which will copy the /dev entries.

Also has anyone got the -M (multivolumes) to work? I get EIO at the end
of disk and never asked for the next volume.

Thanks for a fun time.

Jon.
