When it comes to old systems, as time goes by, I have fewer and fewer older
systems to deal with that demand an O.S. image that fits on a CD. Being
able to boot from CD is helpful but I have an external USB DVD writer that
I currently use to install Lubuntu on a Samsung NC10 NetBook that doesn't
even have a CD drive.

Being able to use an old system is still important to me. So the "386" isoe
are vital for the Samsung NC10 and 2 friend's laptops that have Pentium M
processors in them.

BW,
