Debian 1.1 (Buzz)

May 5, 2020

This follows on from 0.93 and the installation process is much the same. However the archive really expanded two and a half times. Bizzarly this is the only devian version released that dose not support a PS/2 mouse as the psaux kernel module was neither compiled in or asuppled as a module. A serial mouse is used insead.
