In my findings, I would call 120 megs a min for a useable drive size for
RH5.x. I've got an old Compaq lte 4/25 laptop (120 meg hdd, 8 megs ram)
that's running redhat 5.0, 2.0.32. I compiled a new kernel for apm
support (on my desktop machine), and installed a few errata updates. It
runs great for testing/playing with perl cgi scripts under apache, but
there's just not enough drive space to do much else with it.
I may buy a bigger hdd one day, just to see how X works with this
machine. Or maybe I'll just make it an IP-MASQ machine in it's doc.
