Hello, I've got Debian 2.1 (slink) running on a '486 laptop with only 4MB ram. The trick is to use the low-memory installation instructions which describe how to use the "lowmem" boot diskette. This disk is needed to install on systems with (I believe) less than 6MB. Following these instructions, I had no problem installing on the 4MB system.
