Actually I believe there is a version that will let you run without an MMU, as
long as a SIGSEGV doesn't walk by that is. :-)

Then again I'm extremely new to this myself...

I'm struggling with debian on a 239 meg partition and can't get it to mount my
Amiga drives, which would open up access to a small chunk of ftp.debian.org I
copied off. At the very least I want to get tcsh or some sort of GUI going...

Any advice?
