I installed DSL in my two old computers:

System 1
Pentium 200MMX with 512K cache
48M RAM
TNT2 16MB PCI video card
ISA sound card, ISA modem, PCI NIC
2.3GB HDD, with 255M DSL partition, 64M swap, and the remaining in an additional logical partition

System II
Cyrix 133MHz with 256K cache
48M RAM
Matrox Mystique 4M PCI video card
ISA modem (US robotics), ISA AWE-64 sound card
1GB hard drive, 255M/DSL, 64M/swap, 700M/logical

What amazes me is that all that old hardware, particularly the ISA cards, are recognized without effort. This is a very good point, since it is much easier to fing a used ISA hardware modem, most PCI modem being winmodem (I got the US robotics for $10).

Very cool!

Andre.

The system 1 is broken. I unstalled a few apps with Synaptic, and now X won't start.
I guess I will have to re-install DSL.

When I saw the part about the ISA modem, that got my attention, as I am using a
56K ISA modem now. Was able to use DSL 0.5.3 with it, but all 6x and 7x DSL's won't work with it, so I had to add Wvdial in a remaster to get my ISA modem to work. Prior to the remaster, I just added Wvdial to my restore floppy.
For anyone that needs the particulars on that:
