A customer came in today looking for a laptop.
She had a special application for her business called "sold"
Make a long story short when the ap would not start, I perused the floppy and found vmlinuz....
It would not boot on the jetta box but otherwise would on one of our desktops....
Anyway...she wants the jetta...and she will need linux on it...the box, as it is, sez "nyet."
Anyone here with experience with this product line?
Haven't gottn a response from jetta yet....

The Jetta W98.
The ap and Lin OS are on a 14.4 floppy...tiny , eh?
That will Boot on a deak top.
I tried to boot a slack install CD, (7.1) nada.
No sure about the MOBO...no data from Jetta yet...generic trident vid.
It starts the kerenl then bails with the error "can't open initial terminal."
