[ale] DSL and LINUX

[Charles Shapiro]

I'm running an identical setup on a hard-driveless PC with "sentryCD" linux
( http://www.sentryfirewall.com/ ). This distro runs off a CD-ROM, but reads
/dev/fd0 for setup. It was easy to set up and it's been working just great
for years. Plus, the hardware is pretty ok simple-minded.
