Title: RE: [BL] Internet Appliance?

It's a P1 with 16mb of RAM and an older PCMCIA network card.

Thanks,
Kevin

How old?  For a 386/486, I would recommend BL1.
For a Pentium (or 100MHz 486) with 16mb RAM:  BL2.

No problem with that.  I have two computers sitting on
my table right now.  I've run a web server on one of them
and used BasicLinux on the other to surf it.

Is that built in?  Or is it a PCMCIA card?  If it is a
very recent network card, there might not be an appropriate
module in BasicLinux.  Even BL1 (Slackware 3.5) has modules
for the most common cards.  BL2 (Slackware 7.1) has even
more.  Do you know what kind of network card you will be
using in the laptop?

Cheers,
Steven
