sorry, i didn't stated clearly enough what kind of information i tried
to get: i am currently translating the second chapter to
german and there is only the minimal requirements for 2.2.x
boot-floppies described, but it's likely (or at least i think,
because i have such a low memory 486 computer) that people might
ask "What shall I do with my system which only has 5 MB of RAM?".
so i needed from the makers or people who run low mem systems,
recommendations what to write, how they should handle this.
should they install slink and upgrade to potato? what is the
lowest possible amount of ram for installing potato? etc.
i hope i could clearify my request.
so long
Othmar
