Basically I'm dealing with a very low end machine (<100MHz 16MB RAM No CDROM No USB No Network)

I wish to know if anyone knows which version of DSL is the earliest to have the installing to HDD option. I'm going for a lower version to lower system requirements. Don't need internet, or anything fancy, just a GOOD word proccessor and maybe a game or two if I find any. If it matters I'm going to use a boot from ZIP method described here: http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Running_DSL_from_a_Zip_Drive
So if this only works from DSL version X and above, that'd be nice to know as well. Hope for some good responses.

Why do you need the first one?

The following will hold important improvements while not requiring more resources of consequence and you would have a better Linux experience.

The only reason why you should use an old version of DSL is if you have a i486SX  (with no math comproccessor) CPU.

If you have a 486SX  (486DX is fine with newest DSL version), then get the 0.5.3.1 version of DSL
