Jeff - and other gurus on this list - do you think this version would install onto an old laptop if I tried it? I am fairly new to Linux and I am running Mandrake on my desktop, but just to get into the bash of things (too much GUI makes me lazy) I have looked at the 4MB Laptop (although mine has 8MB RAM) Howto, and I am wondering if this distro might be just what I seek (no X needed)? Otherwise I am considering installing Slackware instead....?
My configuration is:
486 50
8MB
500 MB
Internal FDD
Parallel Backpack CD-ROM
Thank you all of you....

The only problem is some of the stuff goes to German by default. KDE starts up German but once you switch it life seems good.
