I've booted (but not installed) 4.0 of approx jan 1, 2000 on a 4MB system with 32MB of hard disk and no swap. It wasn't pretty, but it worked. I had to do a lot of trimming to get stuff into the hard disk (a 32MB CF actually) and then do a lot of pruning of system daemons to make it run (killed sendmail, cron, inetd, most ptys, ran sshd as my only network daemon, etc). 24MB of RAM shoud be plenty to run a fairly thin, but still usable system.
