tinypoodle:
You could still try microcore with 32MB.
Not sure how dsl would do on 32MB, would not be my first choice to try, but then you got not much to lose to do so.

Whatever you do, give it plenty of swap.

hiro:
Forget tinycore on this machine!

I see that http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Minimum_Hardware_Requirements with X indicates a 16Mb RAM minimum though 24Mb is recommended while as we know TC with X requires a minimum of 48Mb regardless of the amount of swap.

I guess this higher minimum for TC must be because everything is loaded into RAM instead of running off of a drive of some sort, even microcore needs at least 36Mb.

I wonder if a Knoppix trick of creating a virtual memory file on an available hard drive would enable TC to run on smaller hardware setups albeit more slowly?
