I was working on putting Woody on a Toshiba Satellite T2100CS laptop for a
while. It has a 486, but I don't know what speed. It has 8 MB of ram. I got
interrupted but made some progress at it. I have some tips.
First, test your memory by booting of a memtest86 boot floppy:

I just looked at the install manual for Potato, it requires 12MB of memory.
However, slink only demands 4MB.

It can, "dd" is the command you'd want. But, based on the other replies,
it looks as like woody wants a minimum of 12 meg for the installation
