DSL and Slackware aren't that large, are they? Especially with a

Slackware Linux doesn't require an extremely powerful system to run
(though having one is quite nice :). It will run on systems as far back
as the 486. Below is a list of minimum system requirements needed to
install and run Slackware.
* 486 processor
* 16MB RAM (32MB suggested)
* 100-500 megabytes of hard disk space for a minimal and around
3.5GB for full install
* 3.5" floppy drive
Additional hardware may be needed if you want to run the X Window System
at a usable speed or if you want network capabilities.

Adding a few hundred megabytes of disc is not appealing to me,
You really aren't a geek, are you?
I really got laid off and don't have money to spend on
hardware. And even if I did, I wouldn't want to add
a lot of stuff to that machine. It's a dedicated machine.
I don't have "add-on-itis".
Besides, just putting a bunch of cards together isn't my
idea of dealing with hardware, and the IBM PC is too
huge. I like a challenge.
especially since it can't be done. The smallest disc these
days is around 100 Gig. I wonder why it won't run on a 386?
It? Slackware or the 100GB disk?
Sorry. Slackware. The website states it requires a 486.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
