[aclug-L] stripped down Linux

[Michael Holmes <maholmes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I need a CPU to monitor and save it to disk.  I am wondering if any thing 
of Linux would fit on a 40 meg HD?  The system I am thinking of consists of 
a ms dos 5.0 with a vc++ program to read clicks off of a wired mouse (crude 
but it is all I need)  I have a reed switch wired across the left and 
another across the right mouse button, and I just need to record the times 
the switches are activated.  The system with either be a pc386 or a 
pc486-25--el-cheapo.  But, I will only put a 40 meg unit in it.  Can Linux 
or a relative of it do the job.???
