i installed bo 1.3.1 on a 386 yesterday. using floppy0 / lowmemroot,
compiling a special kernel (on a pentium :-), and installing it,
and now we have a server here (mail, pop, dhcpd, boa) !
the system has 4 mb ram, and a 10 mb swap partition.
without swap it doesn't work (i cannot run fdisk and mkswap to create
a larger swap partition. i did that from a the install boot disk).
