Hi.  I'm kinda new to the linux thing...I just heard about it, and wanted to
try it.  I've read a little, and I got a feeling I just can't do it, however,
before I chuck it, I figured I should ask a question or two...:)

I have a 386 (non Dx/Sx/anything else x) running 20 Mhz.  I only have 640 K of
ram.  (Ok...You can stop laughing now... :)  Should I assume that I cannot run
Linux?  I'm hoping to be able to upgrade to at least 2 megs sometime, but am
not sure when.  I'd like to be able to fiddle around with linux, maybe even
change over to linux as my main OS.  I tried to boot with the bootimage and
rootimage disks (I have a 1.44 M on drive a:, and a 250 Meg Archive Tape
backup as my other floppy (grin).  I have about 25 megs I can spare for it
right now, a 2400 baud modem, and of course a "STANDARD" VGA monitor for the
console.  Nothing fancy, but it's an OLD system. I should also mention that
it's a Zenith (This explains the memory problem...Quality goes out before the
name goes on).

Is it even possible for me to run linux on this system?  Any way that I could
get rid of about 3 ptys and 4 (or more) virtual consoles?  I tried booting
with bootimage and got as far as:

        No BUS mouse...
        D*mn. Mem swap error (or something like that).

I will try to find a reply here, but e-mail would be preferable to
data@cs1.bradley.edu.

Thanks in advance.
