Linux for OOLLLLLDD PCs

[Aidan Gauland]

Greetings,

 I have a very very very old PC--I'm serious, this thing only has  
about 64 MB of RAM, and a 100 MHz Pentium CPU, and a BIOS that can  
only boot from a hard drive or a floppy drive--which I have tried to  
get Damn Small Linux running on, but it fails to boot the live CD,  
and I think this is because it fails silently when setting up the RAM  
disk which makes trouble later when it tries to read/write files in  
the RAM disk.  In short: I think it is built to run with more memory  
than this computer has.  Of course I already have a working Linux box  
with more power than this antiquated pile of silicon, but I thought I  
might have some fun, and maybe even show it off at the next software  
freedom day.

 So, should I try an older version of DSL?  Or am I using the wrong  
distro for the job?

Thanks,
Aidan
