I think your best bet would be to get an older version of debian. if you get the last dot release of the 2.0 series (2.3 I think) you should be able to install it with just the 16MB you have, then upgrade to 3.1 or etch or whatever. The old bootfloppies had much lower memory requirements. I once used this trick to get 2.2 running on a compaq 386 (using and even older set of bootdisks) years ago just for for laughs. If I remember correctly the machine had 4megs of RAM, on a ISA card, not the mobo. The really funny thing was, a year later, I found a daughterboard that fit on the card that doubled its memory.
