Hi!

I have a old laptop PCD-4L/50, 4 MB RAM, 256 MB HD, Intel 486 DX2SL.

I want to install DSL-N on it. Unfortunately it does not have CD or a disk drive.

I want to install DSL-N on the HD over USB with my other computer. Afterwards I want to set the HD in the Lappy.

Is the RAM of 4 MB enough?
Can I install over another computer?

Iīm new in Linux and in here!

And sorry for my englisch but it isnīt my mother-language.

Thanks

Dave

I am new to Linux also but I am pretty sure that is going to be impossible with a laptop of 4MB of RAM.

Abiword and Gnumeric and other apps need a lot more that 4MB of RAM to work properly.

You may have better luck with ordinary DSL. You can install over a network I think but I am not sure how you would do that.
