It worked!
It took nearly an hour to get to the point where it began installing
packages, but it is currently installing them. The free report:
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 5948 5440 508 0 2596
Swap: 98744 34172 64572
Total: 104692 39612 65080
The system is an old Compaq Pressario 4122 upgraded to a P-200 processor.
I left 16M of RAM in the machine, and booted with 'linux ks=floppy
updates mem=8M'
I had to manually negotiate the 2 warning screens regarding swap, and
then had to agree to enabling swap early. (Since the installer is
blissfully unaware at this point that it is already using swap.) The code
changes need to be dealt with far better than I have done at this point,
but as far as a proof of concept goes, I'm going to call this a success.
;)
