the hard drive was/is 4.3Gb
I had a 10MB /
128MB /swap
The rest was available for users. (Only me)
Luckily I kept my 486/33 around. Which is running SuSE5.3 just fine
and I run X on it as well. Never realized how slow it was until I got
the other machine (AMDK6-350MHz). But today this 486/33 is kicking that
K6's butt.
