Yeah, I've got a 386 with a 120MB hard drive currently running as my
Dial-on-Demand gateway, running Slackware 4.0.  What with the doubled
size of the 2.2 kernel source(compared to the 2.0 kernel source) I have
to do kernel recompiles for it on another machine, but Slackware does
allow me to keep the size small enough to fit what I need on 120MB.  If
I upgrade that to 7.0, I'll have to keep the development stuff off of
it, as glibc 2.1 takes up some 89MB.
