Debian used to do a minimum spec install at 6meg of ram, this used to need "special floppies" I do not know if it is still available as it was 4 or 5 years ago.
With this spec machine you are planning to run in command line mode only? if you expect a gui, forget this hardware IMHO. If it is for a firewall (assuming you can fit 2 NICS) then cli will be OK and the CPU would be big enough for a soho setup. regards Thing -----Original Message----- From: Curtis Vaughan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 24 November 2004 8:20 a.m. To: debian-user Subject: Linux on an old machine Ok, I want to put a linux distro on an old handheld pc. Here are it specs. Most distros, however, don't seem to like the lack of RAM. TOSHIBA LIBRETTO 50CT PROCESSOR Intel Pentiumï 75 Mhz 16Mbit EDO DRAM I wanted to put Knoppix on it, but Knoppix won't like the low ram at all. I would put Debian on it, if I thought I wouldn't have problems with devices. Any ideas about how to do this? Curtis
