X itself is fine, it's kde/gnome which require lots of ram, run an old school window manager like fvwm.
I used to run X on a 4Mb 386 back in the day when it was a grunty machine!! :-) jeremyb. -----Original Message----- From: Zane Gilmore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 23 July 2002 4:45 p.m. Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Adding Packages Ben, although it is possible to install X after you've installed the distro when all is said and done it is probably easier to start again and reinstall your distro but with X. Are you still trying to get Linux going on that machine with 16M RAM? Have you found more RAM yet? I don't think that it would be very usable with 16M of RAM and X. Although I would be happy to be proven wrong I don't think I will be.
