Yes...You can get it working without any problems. I have! (with the
biggest GRIN :) Use a distribution of linux called utrinix (or if you want,
you can also go with ultra tiny linux). This is SOOOOO small, that what it
does, is it installs itself on a couple of floppy disks (minimum. A few
x-tra for more features) Then...you mount your 65MB hard drive...setup
about 30mb for swap...the rest ext2 for trinix...load the local fs onto
that. You should be set to go! If you really want to and if your a
programmer, you can have the kernel source to fine tune the kernel. :)
Hope that helps!
