Hi Dan,

The short answer is most likely yes.
The reality is that it will be a very limited (no X) install if you cannot
upgrade and you will want to roll your own kernel to save memory.

You should also check out the "small memory mini-howto" and if it may be an
option the "ZIP install mini-howto". They are available at
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/doc/HOWTO
and ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/doc/HOWTO

Good luck,
Tim
