I have no idea what type of CPU an LCii has so it may not work at all.

Anyway there is no Linux for 68k macs (ppc macs yes).  But there are 
versions of BSD (NetBSD) which do.

80 meg might be a little tight.

What CPU does it have?  

The minimum is a 68020 and an MMU .  MMU is NOT OPTIONAL.

4 meg, at least. Probably more if you want to do anything.
