Its at least encouraging that you somehow got etch installed on a 16 mb
machine. My 32MB 486 wouldn't upgrade so I transfered the drive to a
larger computer. I found etch significantly slower; text-only non-fb
scrolling and cursor movement jerky, loading mc or lynx slow, etc.
OTOH, it flies very well with either OpenBSD or NetBSD.
Good luck,
