Hello

I have Linux installed in one computer (that was 3 years ago), and I'm
very happy about it. I was hoping to have same type of experience with
my 3rd computer. Mainly what I want to do is installed Kernel, samba,
midnight commander and lynx for surfing.

My 3rd computer is 166mmx, and with 1,200mb hard disk, and 64meg of
rams. I use this for dos games, mostly. I want to install linux, only
kernel, and samba, and lynx. I want to install in this order because I
want to learn how linux works, and I want barebone linux for
educational reason, mainly networking, firewall, and as a hobby...

What I want to do is find some linux boot disk image, and some linux
program that can partition the vfat hard disk into 3 (vfat, ext3, and
swap) or just pure linux, and install kernel, lilo, lynx and samba.

I don't want commerical stuff. What I want to do is take indivual
packages i.e kernel from www.kernel.org, lilo, lynx, and samba -
install them myself. Is there any website or anything that can guide
me?

Thanks in Advance?
