[Nottingham] Backup box on a 486...

I had debian running on a 486 for while, and it worked fine (not using
X, though). apt is painfully slow, however, when building its indices
etc and you may want to do the install on another (faster) machine and
then move the hard disk across, otherwise you'll spend half an
eternity watching progress bars :-).
