I installed DSL tobday on a P166 with 24 MB Ram, and it works just great! It's much more responsive than win95 on this machine . Under windows, while playing mp3 or ogg the machine is swapping and sometimes the sounds hiccups and skips... under DSL running XMMS the CPU remains under 40% and the memory free 11 MB! Wooohoo! You can surf the web while listening music on such a beast, isn't it WONDERFUL?
Now here are a few little bugs I found (they're easy to correct fortunately):
1) portmap doesn't run at boot. You can't mount an NFS share, you have to first start portmap by hand. I started it, and it works fine, even while running in LiveCD mode on my dinosaur. There is no reason not to start it as default (if it works on my machine it will on anyone's else), please add it :)
2) the /etc/group file is filled with "knoppix" everywhere :) You'll have to replace "knoppix" by "dsl" in all groups like "audio", "cdrom",etc to be able to mount cdroms, listen music, etc as a simple user. Very easy to correct, too :)
