OK, so far I see no answers to your post. That's sad, cause in some way that would have interested me too :-(( First thing coming to my mind, I think there is an SDB article about installation on a system with very low memory. Did you check this ? Unluckily I have no idea how this article was called or which URL it is. Next idea, maybe peanutlinux could rescue you? I only heared of the name and don't know how it works, but as far as I remember it ships 'all inclusive' on a 150MB image available e.g. at linuxiso.org, so you can dl this and burn your install CD - I hope it does include a boot floppy image which you will need for creating your bootdisk. Hope that can help for the beginning .... Wolfi ================================== mailto:wolfi_z@yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
