If this bloke can run win95 in 260 megs, he can run linux in 240, no
worries.  He will just have to be a bit frugal.  I once installed a
Slackware version of linux on a 420 meg drive that was shared with a
win3.1 system.  I think it had about 280 megs.  For linux as distributed
with Applixware student edition, the recommended space for linux with X
is 100Mb!!!

Yours faithfully,
Peter
