Too bad I don't still have access to the 0.59 bogomips "double sigma" 386 machine that had the dubious honor of being the slowest Linux machine in the world for quite a while. That machine had 3 MB of RAM. However, to tie it back to the original discussion, these extremely-low-memory machines need nonstandard kernel options anyay. While doing my SuperRescue disk I was able to get it down to the point where I could successfully boot and use the system on a 24 MB machine; I personally run a 32 MB box as a server today. -hpa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
