<My laptop's an 8088 with 640K RAM, CGA, 720k 3.5" floppy, and a 20 MB HD. <Obviously, not big enough. What I want to know is if I can get some old <version of it, or some "mini version", that still has the newer features, <just in a smaller package. Or does anyone have an alternative O/S that I <could run on it, besides DOS? How about minix 2.0. It run on 8088 and fits in small disks. Likely the caldara openlinux can be trimmed of you eliminate the source files. The problem is not fitting it on the disk but will you have useable disk left? Finding a 40mb disk for that laptop would be a good idea. Allison
