I have a really nice, old Libretto 110. Only 64Mb memory. I want to put Linux on it and have a network monitoring system and a traveling NAS. But all of the NASs have seemed to have grown beyond their original 64Mb size (FreeNAS now needs 128Mb). Only thing I have found is: http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS8289526009.html Talking about Unbutu 6.0 and the 'Server' install that can run in 64Mb and provide NAS. Any pointers?

The system cannot boot from a CD, so I have to first get the "the all in one boot floppy" http://home.arcor.de/mschierlm/bootdisk/ then install of CD with both PCMCI slots in use. then put in a LAN PCMCI with the CD and install networking stuff. then pull the LAN, put in a USB PCMCI with the CD and install that. Then, hopefully I will be ready to go!
