Graphical browser on 64MB machine?

[bluegreenone]

Hey, I have an old 64MB ram machine I would like to use as a harddisk-less browser machine. I know Knoppix requires 96MB to run KDE, is there any way I could just run X (no KDE) and then some graphical browser app on top? How would I do this?

Thanks!

DSL (Damn Small Linux) comes with dillo... ByzantyneOS uses mozilla as window manager, but they seem to require 128Mb at least.

i have Debian installed on a p100 with 74M ram, that works OK with icewm as windowmanager and glinks as browser.

Useing a differnt WM could hlep, but it you just want X.

Then boot with the 2 cheatcode and enter startx

This is helpful, I'll try it. So startx will just load X and not KDE, that should help. How do I start an app from within plain X, will there be a menu or right click?

As a final answer it is possible to use mozilla or konqueror on 64MB RAM machine by using TWM as the window manager. You can specify this in the boot options or if you startx, it will try and fail to use KDE and default to TWM.
