	Yes, I have a Packard Bell 386sx-20 laptop with 8 megs memory
	and a 80 meg drive, and a PS/2 style mouse port. (same style
	as on the 6386WGS machines), and 0.1 runs just fine on it.
	No problems booting, or installing along side msdos.
	Now, if someone would just come up with a Xircom driver,
	it could be a usefull network machine....

	That's the biz, sweetheart.
