hey, banshee, what are you doing here?! 8-)
umm, i've got it running on a 386/20, with 4M, and could easily
build kernels, and stuff on it; that's my "on the road" development
machine...
and if you really need to sqeeze for space,
i think you should be able to fit a *bare minimum*, say, text editing
(but no troff, etc.) system in 30M; don't believe all the FAQ's
statements...
