I installed OS/2 first, pulled the distro from a BBS, then installed Slackware from boot floppies and the FAT partition where I downloaded the distro.

They also made sure I didn't wake up in the middle of the procedure...
The dentist cracked my lower right tooth in half for the extraction, I woke up and grabbed his arm right at the wrist. An excited flurry of action and I was back under. I think they upped the dose after that.
