What about TinyX? I know it runs fine in 4 MB, anybody tried that
one with muLinux?

I've got a laplink cable, now how do I go about installing muLinux
on the laptop without doing a UMSDOS install first?

Do you think Lyx would run with TinyX? The main real world use of
the laptop would be typesetting (a thesis). And, to a minor extent,
web browsing. Talking about web browsing, I suppose running Opera
is out of question..? I'd be quite happy with Lynx (or maybe Arachne,
if I get it to run), but Javascript and CSS support would be great.
Oh well... I realize I'm asking for two much from my lowly 4 MB,
but I haven't given up hope yet! :)

Best regards,
Luca
