Hello,

I've recently installed 2.0.5 from a floppy distribution of bin.aa-bin.cp.
After the initial installation, several questions were asked about
configuring many aspects of the system, but each was looking for other
distributions (e.g. compat1x, etc).  I've downloaded several : manpages,
games, compat1x and compat20.  Now what?  I've looked in the FAQ, but I
can't find how to access the floppy.  I'd check the manpages but...

Are there other distributions I will probably need?  What about XF86312?
Is this XFree86 ver 3.1.2?  I'll almost certainly need some of the packages
listed in that directory.  How should I proceed to install them.

At this point I could start over with 2.1.0 I suppose, without much
headache, but downloading those 70+ bin.[a-c][a-z] files wasn't fun.  Is
there a better approach to upgrade to 2.1.0?  I don't know if my CD-ROM
will be recognized yet.  I have downloaded the atapi.flp just in case.

Thanks for any help!
