That's not correct. I've owned three laptops with
PCMCIA slots and 4mb RAM. I've found ISA network
cards and CDrom drives in PCs with as little as
2mb RAM.

With 8mb RAM your best course of action is to
use the DOS version of BL3. That leaves your
entire 8mb free for use.

Not really. A root filesystem might contain a selected
set of files that you need in order to run a minimal
Linux. But that is not the definition of a root
filesystem. Do you understand what a filesystem is?

Not necessarily. Only the /usr/X11R6 directory (and sub-
directories) is on /dev/ram1. Files going into other
directories will not sit on /dev/ram1

Cheers,
