Re: Debian on 386SX/3MB



The short answer is no.  The long answer is I got a 386DX with similar
specs up under bo.  Look on http://archive.debian.org and expect some
SERIOUS pain.  ISTR that you had to do some specialized things: I think
there was a README on lowmem, but I may be confusing things here--my 386's
MFM disk died in 1996...
