if you do a hd install of dsl it will be more the 290Mbthe 50Mb is a compressed iso

either that or remake the cd distro (we are currently trying to do this) and strip everything that is unneeded...this way we have a true "core" distro...then just add apache.dsl to the .iso and it will autoload it...then just run it frugal install and you will be good to go...Brian

I cant install and then remove stuff, cause the hdd is only 100mbAnd how can i remake the boot ?
If i copy everything on my other pc from the iso ?

Please help me out.

You cant scrounge a bit larger HD?Possibly a 1-2Gigger?
Heck I have 2 504Meg HD here if you want one...100 Megs is pretty much worthelss...unless you ran the OS from the CDROM and used the HD as the changable/variable data location
Thats what we wanted to do with the DSL-server release, but it appears roberts thinks it more work than it would be worth
He mentioned LAMPPIX, LivePlone, and LiveZope to me...perhaps those might be closer to what you are looking for...I wanted to make DSL-server a "pluggable" make your own type server instead of being built around a single "dedicated" type server of LAMPPIX
Mini-LAMPPIX looks nice though

questionsyour hd is only 100mb, or is it larger and you have only 100mb left?
what partitions are on the drive, how are they format?
how much mb will your webservers-doc size be?
do you have a floppy drive in it?
do you have a cdrom in it?
is there an orther os in this machine?

You could try the command line versions of Amigo Linux, < http://amigolinux.org/, > and a lightweight web server like thttpd, < http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/. > This should fit into 100 MB.

Freesco is a "single floppy" based router/firewall with many plugins available to add to it at www.freescosoft.com.
One of the plugins is Apache, which at 7.7 megs, + 40 for the install, makes your total drivespace under 50 megs total..
Easily installs to a FAT partition, and even downloads and installs the Apache "pkg" for you..
( after installing a few dependancies ( openssl , etc. ))
( login as root to a shell, type htp://dingetje.homeip.net/beta/0.3.x/apache_1.3.27_dingetje )
It also comes with an http , ftp , telnet , and print server,
and is configurable remotely thru a webmin/http style interface.
Numerous other modules are available like openssl/ssh , mp3 servers, etc.
