- I don't know about booting from the CD-ROM, but you will be able to make a
- basic release 3.0 on the 105MB HD. You'll be able to install all the language
- material and have about 13MB free on it, if I remember right. I tried this (my
- situation is similar: 1GB main HD and 105MB swapdisk) and it ran fine. I
- wouldn't do anything major with it (swapping might be a problem), but it should
- run well enough to use.
