Ok, here's how it is.. Finally got a small machine running... 486/33, 8mb, 234mb hd. I need to know of a distro that will fit on my 234mb drive? i dont recall red hat being that small, but thats what i want to use. is there another distro that will fit on this drive?
 
Peanut Linux isn't too big.. 150MB maybe.

But with RedHat, don't install any of the X-windows servers.. stay away from anything graphical in the package installation and you should be fine. If you can, don't install any docs you don't think you'd be using as well. If you think you won't update the kernel, don't have any sources on it
 
I checked the zipslack link and it's confusing. First is says you need 16 mb ram. Then there is a statement that if you are using less you need some addin. But in the installation instructions they say the addin is for 4 mb of ram. Totally confusing. Peanut linux looks very good though.
