You could also look into Free/OpenBSD (www.(open|free)bsd.org). If
security is important obsd should be an interesting alternative. 8 MB
should work (not verified though), but it probably won't be fast.
FreeBSD i know for a fact works on an 8 MB machine, although the
installer was prone to crashing if you played around too much with the
settings.

Not sure. It has DOS 2.11 in ROM, has 128 kB of RAM (a minimum of 32
kB is used as a C: ram disk) and uses battery backed up SRAM cards for
storage. It has a 240x64 pixel screen (40x8 chars), with an optional
panning 80x25 screen. It runs off of 3 AA batteries (not included ;).
You can find out more about it at

  http://rzserv2.fh-lueneburg.de:8080/Portfolio

and there's a software archive at

  http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/systems/atari/umich.edu/Portfolio/

HTH.

Here's the diff for elks/arch/i86/drivers/char/xt_key.c. The layout is
slightly nonstandard, and there are no dead keys, but it shouldn't be
too hard to figure out. I have no idea how well this would work on a
genuine XT keyboard. You'll have to add a line like

se  CONFIG_SE_KEYMAP\

in elks/arch/i86/drivers/char/Config.in as well.

FWIW I got ELKS running on a Toshiba T1200 (640K mem, 80x25 lcd, 20 MB

Hacking. I have a Swedish/Finnish keymap if you're interested. I've
been meaning to share for a while, but it's on a machine I can't get
to at the moment. I haven't verified that it works on anything but my
T1200 though.
