- I am planning on purchasing a 386sx in the near future. I am wondering what
- the absolute minimum requirements are needed to run Linux along with
- X-Windows? The 386sx I am looking at runs at 25Mhz, has a super VGA card
- (unknown brand-name), 1 meg RAM (from the FAQ I notice I need 2 Megs... this
- will be purchased when necessary), and a 40meg hard drive. What else is
- necessary to get Linux up and running? I also want to run MS-DOS on the side.
-
- Any info is appreciated.

- Thanks,
