Sigh... I remeber the days... That pretty much describes my first 2 linux installs. I never got X working (untill I upgraded to 16 megs of ram and a 486 motherboard). I still have the 386 laptop w/4 megs ram, monochrom VGA, 130 meg hard disk... I think its my only machine with dos/win31. The battery is dead and cost more than the laptop is worth... but its still handy :)
