468229 2006-07-03 20:12:00 I did, on a 512kb flash drive. Have a look at this http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
Lot of fun. My sister cracked up when I told her I'd partitioned a flash drive and installed linux on it.

468231 2006-07-04 02:36:00 You could still do it with 512 kB. (Just, with a minimal kernel). You do it with Memtest86. ;) Graham L (2)
