Replies to self....

DSL is pretty sweet.  Loaded up on this old laptop in about 1 minute off the
CD, recognized the hardware just fine, and only used 18K of memory -- even
with X and several Apps running.  The little text editor included is pretty
good -- certainly better then typing with no feedback. Of course for KTouch I
would need KDE which could be a problem.  I also ran across this article that
explains how to customize Knoppix.

Looks like I might be going into the distro building business :-)

Any other tips appreciated...
