I have the system listed in the subject line (currently with Windows
95 installed). It has a floppy drive (no CDROM drive) and a couple of
PCMCIA slots.

I was thinking I'd like to try to setting up a minimal linux install
on it. I doubt I could run X on it but perhaps with a NIC I could use
it for email, newsgroups, lynx, etc.

Any advice you have on setting up something useful with this little
laptop would be appreciated.

Thanks
