I want to install linux on a IBM laptop,
166 pentium,
80meg ram,
2gig hd

But I dont know which is best to use. Havn't got a cd drive so it needs to be installed from floppy disk ( so nothing over 100mb download for the basic system, will install X later ).

Only problem is it needs to be installed on a DOS partition. I've just downloaded Zipslack 9.0 to try, any other idea's?

Places you could look: Search Page - you'd be surprised out how often this is asked here.
The LQ Review Section - lots and lots of distro reviews.
DistroWatch - loads of info on loads of distros.

When you have picked a distro, go to LinuxISO and download you distro.

Instead of closing this thread, I'll move it to Linux - Distributions where it more appropriately should live

Welcome to LQ!

Cool
