Different architectures make more or less efficient use of RAM, but I suspect you are going to find it extremely difficult to even get debian installed on such a system. My 5MB Amiga 2000 simply thrashed itself to death trying to install packages, thanks to the bloated package database and dpkg's RAM-hungry design. I never got it upgraded from potato to woody and if it hadn't been taken off the net by a faulty NIC I would have shut it down anyway when security updates for potato stop. -- Frank Copeland Home Page: <URL:http://thingy.apana.org.au/~fjc/> Not the Scientology Home Page: <URL:http://xenu.apana.org.au/ntshp/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
