"not y2k compliant" in what way? I assume you mean the BIOS, in which
case my guess would be that Linux doesn't care (somebody please correct
me if I'm wrong!) - until 2038, that is (2038 many Unices hit their own
Y2K equivalent, at least on 32bit computers).
Other than that I can only recommend that you try and throw as much RAM
as possible into that machine - I wouldn't recommend trying with
anything less than 8MB, better still 16MB. Otherwise, the poor thing
might be swapping far too often...
HTH,
