Pacman? I had Caldera and I don't remember seeing Pacman.... this sounds like the Easter Egg thing with older Microsoft products.... hidden games....

Nobody talks about Caldera because there hasn't been a release in over 2 years, and because the distributor (SCO) currently claims that Linux uses code stolen from them and is suing IBM for $5 billion over it.

Post date: Monday, January 1st, 2001 20:24:57 - this is 4 years old. Some distros had a game you could play while your distro was installing: pacman, solitaire, freecell.

I have Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 on an old 133, during the install it DOES have the game Tetris for you to play while it installs your selected packages. I found it much easier to install than SuSE 7.1, however I wish it had apt-get as the package manager.
