I have increased the most machines to 16 MBytes but I try to get more memory-Modules in Germany to upgrade to 24 or 32 MBytes. Debian works great with 32 MBytes if a litle bit optimized. >I did a test install with d-i some months ago, and success >fully installed via plip.

I asume, that ich I create a new bunch of Package Tree from sarge that I get performance Problems with 486/P1 and maximum 32 MBytes. It is already difficult to get WOODY running. >I had planned on boosting the floppy support in d-i to allow a >full-floppy install on the i386 machine I was using (this was before the >i386 support was dropped); I realised that plip networking was >simpler than 140 floppies. I haven't tested it in months, though. So 386-CPU's not more supported ? OK, even the 'Base-Install' of WOODY is overkill for a 386/dx40 with 16 MB of memory. Can't used as Dial-In-Router with a 33600 Modem. I have tried it already and under WOODY it needs a 486dx33 with 12 MByte of memory minimum. >BTW, I also had an Irda install working, at least to loading d-i modules >over net stage: irda from one laptop to another. Again, not tested since >around March/April, but should work. Needs documentation, though. Yip !!! I have made a small Irda-Adapter/Dongle from a PC-Magazine. Connected to the Serial-Port. So, if I have my T1950CT and use a second Irda-Adapter/Dongle I can install via Irda-Link ? This is very interesting for me. Which Documentatio need it ? Can I help you ? I support german, english and french. >- Alastair McKinstry Greetings from Strasbourg Michelle -- Registered Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
