Well..a year ago I broke out an old linux CD I have (Linux Developer's Resource - by InfoMagic 1994), and put a slackware version on that worked. I was working with a 386 sx 16, 80 mb HD and 4 mb ram. Only had a floppy and a serial port. I got a base system up and then used NFS w/ the PPP link over serial port to my other box to do the rest. (kernel .99 something I believe) Now, in todays world..I would use a distro like Debian. You don't get the default bloat of redhat etc. The last Debian install I did (w/o X) was under 150mb, and I know I could have gotten smaller without much trouble. -dallas ----- Original Message ----- From: "J" To: "PLUG" Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 12:32 AM Subject: Linux on a low-spec laptop > Does anybody know of a small-ish linux for a 486/50mhz laptop /w 8mb ram and > a ~320mb hard drive? > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: > http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss >
