Hi Adrian, The latest AstLinux 1.1.6 works fine with 512 MB of RAM.
By default the FAT16 disk partition is 256 MB (which holds the run images) and the remaining part of your flash drive is for the ext2 Linux filesystem. That is tight for 1 GB flash and very tight for 512 MB flash, but still possible. So you have several options... 1) Download the latest 1.1.6 image, either "Generic i586" or "Generic i586-Serial" (VGA or Serial console) and give it a go. 2) Use the build engine, http://build.astlinux.org/ and build a 1.1.6 image with FAT16 Partition: 128 MB and uncheck SMP Kernel:, and disable any other items you don't use. This will match your hardware better. 3) Using a VM, build your own custom images: http://doc.astlinux.org/devdoc:documentation. I'd suggest trying #1 first to make sure the the flash drive and the NIC is recognized by our kernel, and then optimize (hopefully) from there if desired. In theory a 512 MB flash drive will still be enough to work with #1.
