With only 4M RAM you will have problems with the system being very slow (lots of swapping going on).
Installing ash and linking it to /bin/sh helps a lot, as does replacing getty with mingetty. You may also want to look at replacing bash with something smaller. X recommends 8M+, it may run in 4, but would be too slow to be useable. - Bruce -- On Wed, 21 Apr 1999, Madel, Kurt wrote: > I was wondering if anyone has tried this.
