Well, that laptop is very old with a 10" plasma-screen, 16 or 256
grey-scales. I don't think that I will upgrade to such a huge hd only
because I want to install Linux on it. I am using a 2.1 GB hd on my
computer and that's enough. I still have 0.6 GB free to fill.
I only want to use it for fun and maybe for university and that's all.
But thank you for suggesting your idea. :-)

Someone suggested to use Debian's lowmem-distribution. You need only 2 MB
RAM and 40 MB HD to install it.
