I had made an installation of FreeBSD on old laptop with 32MB Ram. X was taking about all of it, I did put WMaker on top of it, which did not take too much memory itself. I had seen that 32MB was definitively not enough, but even 48MB would have been great ! Anyway, If you find some solutions with 16 MB Ram, I would be happy to know it, since I can't use my old laptop for now.
