Any recommendation for GUI and > browser? It is doubtful that you will be able to install Openoffice and X Windows into 300 megs. I think open office alone requires 150 megs. Also it would barely be usable on a pentium 100 with 40 megs of ram. Also if you have so little free space I recommend you make one large / partition instead of dividing it in this way. Right now you might not be able to install large pieces of software because they get downloaded into /var which in your setup is part of /. > 2) I have tried "apt-get install" for small files.

I have also used a Debian system with a dial-up connection. I recommend you get a set of Debian CDs it will really save you lots of time, especially if you ever have to reinstall your system. Bijan
