I just booted dsl on an old Toshiba Libretto 100CT (p166mx, 64mb ram, 2GB(!!) harddrive, 800x400 lcd; no usb ports at all and no cdrom boot, so I had to put KNOPPIX on the hard drive and boot from a pcmcia floppy). It worked _really well_ and looked GREAT once I switched over to the framebuffer boot parameter.
The choices you list for framebuffer sizes are ...|...|800x600. Is there any way, either at boot or later, to tell x to use 800x400? 800x600 works and looks good, but of course the desktop and some app windows run off the bottom of the screen. Alternatively, is there a way to scroll the window manager itself? (I seem to remember something like that -- virtual desktops? -- from the primeval days of X-windows.)
I am thinking of partitioning my 2 gig hardrive and tryng a dual boot install with win98. No doubt I will have other questions, notably about my pcmcia Orinocco Gold wifi card, but one thing at a time...
Thanks for such a nice distro.
