Well My first installation was from HD to UMSDOS and form
UMSDOS to ext2, because 9r6 whic was the current version that
time didnät support direct HD to ext2 install, so time went past,
and my pal was working in IBM side-office here in Finland, and
they packed a buch of old laptops to be nonated to Liethua (I hope
that I got that name right) and they "salvage" a new HD and a new
ram chip for me.
After the UMSDOS to ext2 clone I deleted the MSDOS install and
got rid of the FAT partition, so that I cuold make more room on that
170mb HD.
So at that time mu 11r2 was the current installation and and I
reinstalled it from HD to UMSDOS in the new HD and have been
happy since ;)

I will upload it soon to my home-space on a server here in finland,
