Hope this helps.

PS. I have successfully installed slackware onto a similar machine
with 4 megs of memory. (I have since upgraded it to 8 megs since
memory is soooooo damn cheap these days!) The way I did it was using
a root floppy *file system* rather than ram disk.
1. Challenge: Install Linux on a 386sx25, 40 megs HD and 1 Meg ram
Hey there:
Anybody could tell me if i'm dreaming or if it's possible?
I want to install linux on an old klunker i have, a 386 sx 25, only a meg of
ram, and 40gigs hd... With such a small amount of ram, is this possible,
and how would I go about doing that? Thanks!
