  I am using the MCC 0.97pl2 release (which is amazing thanks all),
  and I only have 5mb of ram in a 386 25,  it took perhaps half an
  hour to compile the kernel.   Well less than one hour anyway. 

  Perhaps patch levels abovee two are a lot bigger?

  Btw I now have a terminal in the lounge so I can use linux in the
  add breaks! :) Cool.  

  Oh, does anyone out there have a tvi925 or tvi920 termcap that is
  know to be perfect?   I have a vi problem on the terminal which
  could not be linux (I don't think).

  Thanks,
  Peter.
