Two years ago (?) more or less I put Dragon Linux on a 386 box I had,
which ran nicely. As I recall, the distro is six/seven floppies big. Based
upon Slackware.
Ran nicely on an ega, 16mhz '386 with 6Meg of RAM; until the top three meg
got flakey...
Of course, there are others. And once you get something running, you can
network over the parallel port or serial, so you _really_ shouldn't need
too big an initial system.
