[Michael Holmes <maholmes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

THe laptop fell through, I am still plugging along on the dinasour! :-(

A robot crashed and fried the budget!!

My laptop has 4meg of ram, I am open to any clues on how to make linux install
and run, if possible.  I am not wanting x windows, just text enviroment.
