getting an oldie to work
I've found some memory in an old server and have now beefed up my old 486. Suse loads well but there is only 420Mb of disk space. I want to be able to use the machine as a X client running from a bigger x server. What can I leave out from the installation. Every time I leave something out it seems that something somewhere needs it and I have to begin all over again. The machine has an old D-Link 220 ISA network card. This doesn't appear on the list of supported cards in YAST. How can I get around this problem. I cant't find a different card which fits into the machine.
