In France ADSL was still a couple years away, so it was actually cheaper to buy the book and the CD instead of downloading the ISO and looking up documentation online.
I had hand-scribbled instructions from said fat kid’s older brother. It was in a sticker-bombed binder. And they weren’t, like, cool stickers. It was just like promo shit for hardware and industrial equipment manufacturers.
What’s this “Google” thing you speak of? Back in my days you bought a huge book which came with a red hat or mandrake CD-ROM.
Bought? I always got my distros from the fat kid at school with a CD burner.
