I have the same problem with Iran and Afghanistan.
But first:
Whats the speed of the CPU's and how much memory do you have?
I recommend minimal for
SLINK 486dx50 32 MByte
POTATO 486dx75 64 MByte
WOODY 486dx4/100 96 MByte
SARGE P1/166 128 MByte
I am using WOODY with fvwm and AbiWord. I do not know curenly the name,
but I had installed a lite Spreadsheet under X.
Forget to install SARGE on it.
And i suggest you to install POTATO onto your 486 because you will find
all required Packages already there.
For the Internet I am using Netscape Navigator 4.7 which is in non-free.
Mail is handled by "mutt" in a XTerm.
Please note, that it will work with 32 MByte of memory with 50 MByte
SWAP under POTATO. With WOODY you schould increase the Memory to
96 MByte because the XFree86 v4.1 will eat up your resources.
For your 486 you should install XFree86 v3.3
Greetings
Michelle
