I installed tomsrtbt on a 386sx16 laptop with only 5 megs of ram and 40 megs
of HD, and set up lilo (and PLIP!) all with included utils. I did give linux
more than 8 megs plus a 6 meg swap, but I could have given it as little as 3
or 4 for the root filesystem and no swap. The only thing I had to use that was
not included right in tomsrtbt was fips.exe.
I was able to boot tinylinux on another of the same laptops that had only 3
megs, but it did not come with the capability to install itself at that time,
but I think it does now.
