Linux History: Email to Ted Ts'o for Linux on floppies

Submitted by Khalid on Sun, 2004/06/20 - 00:52

As per Linus advice, I contacted Ted T'so in March 1992 for getting Linux on Floppies. Here is the e-mail. 

Subject: How can I get floppies for Linux?
To: Theodore Ts'o <???>
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 92 15:38:45 KSA
From: Khalid Bahey-elDin <???>
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL4]
I was referred to yourself by Linus Torvalds.
How can you help me obtain Linux on 5.25" flex diskettes? I have no FTP access
and understand that Linux is 3MB+, so mailing it is almost impossible at the
current 2400 baud I am using.
Appreciate your help.
