LFS on Damn Small Linux
 
Hi i recently got a computer which is a P2 with 128 ram and a 13 gig hd.
so i thought ill dedicate it to learning linux.
Please suggest what distro to use and if i use DSL which i have downloaded how to get all the pre-requisite packages ? Would it support those packages from Debian ?
Or DSL wont work ?
suggest some flavor of linux for this please :D

Welcome to the forums! DSL is very popular for older hardware (but unfortunately no longer under active development) as are Puppy, SliTaz, and TinyCore.

hmmm how about slackware ??
cani i find all the required packages for LFS on slackware. I checked the site but the package browser is currently down. Any link ?

Look at slitaz or austrumi. Slitaz has a floppy to boot to so that you can then load from CD.
