Dear Sydney Linux, I am a member of a small computer club and we have some computers which need operating systems. The memory is 32MB so the installation must be small. I cannot understand why most of the Linux systems need so much memory. I have an old Win3.1 which runs Microsoft Word with Exel and Powerpoint plus other programs and runs well with 4MB. Is a Linux core the basic program which would allow small programs to be installed?
Go to this site: http://mulinux.sunsite.dk/tiny.html
There you will find a link called MuLinux on the left hand side.
You will there see a link to screenshots. Have a look at those and you will see what you can get from a Linux that fits on a few floppy disks.
You download the MuLinux from the site above.
It will run fine in 32Meg.
