Recently i was looking for a small distro to install at my old 486SX-4Mb-100Mb. At www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions are a couple of small distro's, and i tried BasicLinux. It runs o.k. You need a basic DOS ( i installed full, 10 Mb). From there you can run a RAM-linux ( I needed a 4Mb-ram supplemental pkg) . Next a HD install. ( supplemental HD package) The zImage stays in a DOS directory, and the text-mode installa- tion takes 7Mb. There are pkg's for icewm (bas-html.tgz),mc, Slackware 3.5 add-ons, it's in the docs. Actually i subscribed to this mailinglist, because it was somewhere mentioned , and expected hundreds of users, writing thousands of mails about it. adriaan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
