I've got Debian 2.2 mostly installed on an old laptop (486/50MHz,
8MB RAM, 325MB HD). Actually, this is the second install - the first
got hosed by over-agressive hdparming. (I knew the risks... :-> )
Anyway, I've done a lot of things to conserve memory (reducing the
number of VCs, etc.) but I

Me too. My needs aren't all that sophisticated, but they
still look okay to me. For some (outdated) examples, see:

Nope. Sorry.
It's kind of complicated to do that, for many reasons. First,

You need a patch to enable the full-speed IDE support for this
chipset. You can get it at:

I'm installing Debian 2.1 onto a Zenith "Z*Star EX", a 486/50MHz
laptop w/8MB RAM and a 300MB HD. I'm using a Xircom AdapterIIps
Ethernet card (which claims to be supported by pcmcia-cs). The
PCMCIA stuff seems to be loading the "xirc2ps_cs" module (or
something very like that) and ifconfig repor
