I have increased the most machines to 16 MBytes but I try to get
more memory-Modules in Germany to upgrade to 24 or 32 MBytes.
Debian works great with 32 MBytes if a litle bit optimized.

This will be very interesting...
Can the d-i be made to work with WOODY ?
I asume, that ich I create a new bunch of Package Tree from sarge
that I get performance Problems with 486/P1 and maximum 32 MBytes.
It is already difficult to get WOODY running.

So 386-CPU's not more supported ?
OK, even the 'Base-Install' of WOODY is overkill for a 386/dx40 with
16 MB of memory. Can't used as Dial-In-Router with a 33600 Modem.
I have tried it already and under WOODY it needs a 486dx33 with
12 MByte of memory minimum.

Yip !!!
I have made a small Irda-Adapter/Dongle from a PC-Magazine.
Connected to the Serial-Port.
So, if I have my T1950CT and use a second Irda-Adapter/Dongle
I can install via Irda-Link ?
This is very interesting for me.
Which Documentatio need it ?
Can I help you ?
I support german, english and french.
