Consider running picoBSD off a floppy with or without a hard disk
(eg, for log files).  It was quite easy/fast to get going and you can
easily keep it as current as the system you build it on (which is
not the systemn you would run it on).


I suspect that picoBSD would run on an 8 MB computer, but I don't know.

I hope the original poster has considered just finding an old computer
with 16 MB; I've bought them for 5 $US from local government surplus.
