I've been running linux for several years now, and was just given an older
laptop and I've decided to put linux on it.
The laptop is a NEC Versa (I think it is an ultralight, but not sure).
Anyway, it has 20 megs of mem and a ~520meg drive. I've set the hd up with
a 4 meg /boot and 64 meg swap.

XF86config should work on any dist. Worse case is it points to a file in the
wrong directory.
