Hi,
I have just aquired an old 486 Hyperbook (8Mb RAM).
It's currently got DOS on it, but I would like to get linux on here.
Anyone got any suggestions for good floppy-based distros (it has no CD!)
tomsrtbt won't boot (out of memory).
I have tried mulinux, but I can't persuade that to boot either (it claims an
invalid compressed format for the kernel).
What I'd really like is something where I can boot it off a test/rescue floppy
to see what the system looks like, then install it to my HD.
Any suggestions?
Or I am better looking at BSD or minix for something for this?
Thanks
Ian
