   Wow :-D   
      
   I have 5.3 "working" under Vmware Player.   
      
   This moment I don't remember what is working on it and what not. I have   
   not tried to boot it since I migrated my desktop from Intel to AMD, so   
   it might not work.

   I don't have the books (paper) because that version I got from a   
   magazine (two CDs). The next one I purchased and I have the paper books.   
      
   There are some servers out there (gwdg?) that have the old versions on ftp.
