This is an excellent suggestion. I have some experience
getting DSL up on small machines. I occasionally run it
on a 160 MHz 486 (actuall, AMD586, but it's a 486 class machine)
with 16MB of RAM. The 486 BIOS won't even boot from the
CDROM. So I may be able to help.

So, Nathan, if you'd like some help with DSL, shoot me a
private e-mail and maybe I can.

Not claiming to be an expert, but I've been through some
special stuff which you might have to figure out. I might
save you a few tens of hours of head scratching.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
