Hi Oliver, There are distributions of Linux which boot from a single floppy disk and run on quite modest hardware. Please check out: FloppyFW Linux at http://www.zelow.no/floppyfw/ and Coyote Linux at http://www.coyotelinux.com/ I run FloppyFW on a 486 with 16 Mb of memory and am quite happy with it. The author is quite helpful and willing to assist new users. Will tell you of my experiences off line if you wish. Respectfully, Ken Becker ------------------ Original text From: Oliver Ob <ob_ok@gmx.net>, on 1/8/01 12:01 AM: Hi mates, after again more and more differences oon the german list, on trustfully come to you and ask you... I got some old 486dx33-isa computer as a present. it has 2400 baud internal, optics at 8000 cdrom, 2x 200 mb at hdd, isa ne2000 included. Now the question: As we write 2001 already, what use has one still got for such an old thing to be used under linux console environment. hope you don't treat this as a joke-question. I shall today give you more information as I did before to rise possibility of adequate answers: 486 runs with 4 mb - is that enough for gateway-firewall-routing purposes? -- *��., ��,.��*���*�Oliver@home*��., ��,.��*��*� -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
