How do you get Mandrake to run on this computer? When I boot my 64MB
machine, I have almost 31MB of "used", not including
"shared," "buffer," or "cache" RAM.
As for your glibc, I'd try the direct-from-source compile.
Good luck!

While you are correct that the *numbering* begins at zero, we are talking
