[TUHS] H.J. Lu Bootable Root & Base System disks

[Larry McVoy]

I looked, don't have it.  There was a red 4 CD set, I want to say it
was ImageMagick but that's the graphics program.  It was a 4 cd set
of at least one Linux distro and a boat load of open source stuff.

It predated redhat so it was huge back in the day, way better to
buy that than spend a bizillion days on ftp over a modem.

H.J. Lu's stuff was on it.  

Does anyone know where he is?  I can go look if that helps.
