Re: 486 laptop...



there is a floppy boot option for knoppix out there that I used for an old system that was supposed to cd boot but didn't.  Also, seems that knoppix comes with debootstrap on it so...if you can floppy boot the thing, then use debootstrap to build a debian system on the hd you could get around the 3 gig limit, but still have all those nice knoppix cd utils to help set up partitions etc... all you'd need then would be a working NIC...

Morphix Lite is cool.  And you can run it off the CD.  That
way you could use the whole 3G for documents.
    
Systems that old, though, don't have bootable CD drives.
