sadly the 2.6.xx kernels need about 32M to uncompress and load the
intramfs alone ... 8.10 will solve a bit of that, booting 24M might be
possible with inrepid ibex ...

486 CPUs shouldnt be any prob though as long as you install
linux-image-i386 in the client environment ...

:)

indeed thats nothing to do serious stuff with beyond telnetting or
running a shell driven database frontend ...
