I believe that once installed you can run with 16MB. 80386 support was taken out of GENERIC some time ago (6.x, maybe?). I don't know if those chips are supported at all, any more. Hard drive space is MUCH larger in a default install than 4,5,&6.x, but if you are creative you can get a whole system on a 350MB HDD. The embedded guys would have a lot better notion than I do. As a beginner, you should really consider 4GB to be a practical minimum. I don't know what to think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=perc0_7n52I I usually try to save my dancing until /after/ the install. -- --
