Don't know about Debian 2.0, but I installed Debian 1.3 on a 486sx
25MHz with 5 MB of RAM and a ~110MB harddrive. I had about 16MB of memory
after using about 12MB of the harddrive for a swap partition. And swap it
did, especially when running X. With a fairly minimal install that included
X-Window I used about 60MB of the harddrive. When I added the kernel
sources and a graphical card game, about another 15 MB of disk space were
eaten up.
It worked, but couldn't do much with it except play cards :)
Ta,
Gerald
