Ouch! I was planning to give it away, if once I get it working
well again. Netinstall I've done before, and can hope to succeed again.
But kernels are way over my head, and I doubt my intended recipient even
knows Linux. Methinks I better try the memory upgrade and netinstall, and
if both fail, I'll offer it to anyone on my local LUG who can give it a
good home ...
My guess is yeah, it'll need more memory--regardless of what "modern"
OS you manage to install on it. I think even Windows 10 has a minimum of
1GB for a 32-bit environment and 16GB of disk. Fun, fun, fun!
Do you remember when Gates said we'd never need more than 64K of RAM?
