Jim,
I would be interested to know how you did this, and what packages you ended up
with. I am interested in a character-based system with perl on it, to use as a
portable terminal to run a cue-cate scanner to catalog my books, and I have an
old toshiba laptop with 128M HD and 12M RAM that I would like to use for this.
Thanks,
PS email me off list if you like.
