- You didn't ask:
- Dell V.4, minimum configuration, includes cc and networking, no gcc,
- no X: fits in 72MB including swap (sorry, I don't have the df here).
- Figure about 300MB to install everything Dell gives you if you select
- the ALL option.
-
- SCO ODT 2.0 base install and development, 128MB (I did this on a
- 146MB drive, 16MB swap, 2MB user). Includes networking and X. You can
- install the base, pull out X, merge, etc, and get this down some.
-
- You can probably run Linux in 10MB or less, but I'm not sure you can
- easily install in that. I haven't done a small install since 0.97 due to
- lack of time.
