SLS? Yes I remember it well...

First "distro" I ever used, back in 1991 (or maybe '92). You basically
had to rawrite a box of 30 floppies to get the whole distro (inevitably
one or two bad disks made me go back to the computer center to re-download
a few floppy images). This was on a 486 DX2 with 8Mb RAM. The whole
install fit inside a 70Mb partition (included X, compilter tools, man pags
, etc).
