That looks like a 486-25

That looks like 4mb RAM, but 4352k is higher than usual.  
I'm guessing that your laptop provides a bit more than 
4mb RAM (with that amount of RAM, every little bit helps).

Wow, that's an old kernel.  Even though it was compiled 
in 2000, your kernel is from 1996 (the BL1 kernel is from
1998, and the BL2 kernel is from 2000).

Slow COM ports -- unsuitable for current external modems.

Small HD, but plenty of room for BL1.

Four partitions.  That's quite a lot for a 120mb HD.

That is too little swap -- your system will be stressed
and (perhaps) unstable.  I strongly recommend you increase
swap to 8mb.
