Don't laugh.

I'd like to install knoppix (or any flavor of Linux) on an old HP Omnibook 2100 I've got laying around gathering dust. It's got 64MB of memory and a 20MB HD - which was acceptable for NT workstation, but everything crawls or doesn't load at all. Has anyone tried anything like this?

Hey wBeckham, a HD installation of Knoppix would require at least 2.5 GBs of HD space and at least 128mb for a swap partition if you do not have more than 512mbs or RAM (which I would assume is the case). Maybe you could try other distros like "Damn Small Linux" which runs on much less! Hope this helps!
