even slackware in cli mode uses 16mb of ram so i think i
will have to use a older distro
You could try an old version of gNewsense 3.0 or even v.2. I would imagine
an older version of Trisquel with net install would work as well. Just pick
the bare minimum to run the system.
Crunchbang Linux is an option as well, it is based on Debian Stable, but you
will have to disable the
is it installable by floppy disk?
also dose anyone know how well supported pcmia drives are supported under
gnu/linux?
if i got a pcmia to usb 2.0 converter what are the chances of it working with
free software?
i dont want to have to but a pcmcia cd drive if i dont have to
i decided to use mikos
i made a modifed version of mike os (free os)
so that pepole can use mike os with a free license
i did this by removeing all refrences to mike os in the program and replaced
them with free os
mike os is almost free but stops you
commercialy redistributing it without
KolibriOS is currently entirely consisting of libre software, though only
because of circumstance.[1] So that's something you could use. Just make sure
to watch out for any changes in this circumstance.

Um, MikeOS just uses the (very common) Modified BSD License, and it's
considered free: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ModifiedBSD.
A lot of software in Trisquel has the same license.
Nope.
From taking a glance at its page, MikeOS seems like a only for fun project
rather that a practical operating system. It seems like everything is
developed from scratch, so I guess that it's fully free but you should do
your own research. Since it's small, you can check the files to evaluate

There is other OSI, small enough to fit your need for that particular PC.
Everything depends on the size of your physical memory available of your PC
and processor.
I had the exact problem last year with an old laptop, the memory was 512kbs,
yet, I was able to find an OSI
the computer now boots to a bios screen but after its initilised it memeory
it dose nothing and wont boot to any device!!??
i rely dont know why this has happened
but i cant get to any boot menu it seems to freez compleatly after its
initlised the ram...
Wow.just as I thought my Compaq TC1000 was slow.
You've got an amazing project going there, tomlukeywood!
That seems like a very old computer. Congratulations for the considerate
spirit of anti-consumerism. I don't think that much modern graphical software
is developed targeting systems with a small RAM capacity such as 12 MB (or
MiB). Running old software is also problematic because it's
hello i have a netbook(sadly running win95)
and i am trying to install a free operating system on it
the only problem is...
it is max out at 12mb ram with a 33mhz prosessor 256mb hard drive
and pcmcia externel floppy disk drive
dose anyone know of free os that will run on this machine?
that
You could install Trisquel without a desktop environment (by doing a
net-install). I don't know if the amount of space taken up by a base install
is too much for a 256 MB hard drive or a floppy disk, but anyway, it's
something you could try.
You could try this one, is an awesome distro http://rlsd.dimakrasner.com/ I
don't know why it is not in the FSF distro, maybe the author didn't asked it,
seems even the kernel is linux libre.
