I think it sounds useful to determine these requirements. Please take a look at http://www.debian.org/~aph/boot-floppies/i386/ and correct that, if you care to, especially section 2.3. In there I say: You must have at least 4MB of RAM and 20MB of hard disk. >From your message, this should be 4MB RAM, and 25MB disk? If you want to install a reasonable amount of software, including X window system, and some development programs and libraries, you'll need at least 300MB. For a more or less complete installation, you'll need around 800MB. To install _everything_ available in Debian, you'll probably need around 2 GB. Is this reasonable still? That you have to hand massage stuff is bad. I guess I wouldn't want to document limits that were predicated on hand-tweaking. -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
