terminal emulator
Hi! I run Debian on a 486 with 8M RAM. I could find a low memory window manager (lwm), but I still don't know if xterm is the most memory efficient terminal emulator, or there is a better one. Any ideas?

Well, thanks for that. I didn't know that either. And in checking I see that I do, indeed, have a type 05 partition. Annoying to hear though, since hda5 is the most important partition on my system after the /boot partition. derek

You can also setup schemes to handle different networking requirements by using the schemes information at pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net as an example.
