It won't be easy getting a fully modern distro onto that machine. If you
can live without wireless, or are happy to do a lot of tweaking, try
Vector Linux 3.2 or 4.3 <www.vectorlinux.com>. The former will happily
live and run inside 500 Mb, and I ran it for some time on a machine with a
similar spec. VL runs on modest hardware by design, and from early day
has been pretty effective at detecting hardware (including PCMCIA cards).
Good luck with your search anyway, and let us know how you get on.
