I'm running jre on a 486, 16 Mb w/o problems. No gui though (it's not
needed for the tasks I want done). I have a 486dx33 8 Mb macine here: I
expect that would do the same tasks (but less quickly as the CPU's slower).
20 Mb disk will be a problem: I'm not even sure you can get a reasonably
functional Linux system in so little. If you're on a LAN you can load java
across it without difficulty.
