Just in case you have to/choose to re-install, here are some notes. Just got
done putting Woody on a Gateway P5-133 with 16MB Ram. It didn't do well with
the bf24 option during install. It doesn't boot from CD. Had fun playing
with booting DOS, running R:\install\boot.bat (that's the CD under DOS, had
problems, so I ran the "vanilla" loadlin line in boot.bat; goto
www.bootdisk.com for a DOS disk; see Debian install manual for more);
eventually brought over a custom 2.4.18 kernel and modules that I compiled on
another machine. Up and running woody with 2.4.18 on that old geezer.
Loading goes _slow_ if you're spoiled by fast machines with lots o' memory.
Next I'm going to try it on a no-name Pentium 75Mhz with 32MB.
