Yes, 4 Meg of RAM.
This sounds like a good idea.

You can have a fully functional Debian print server up and running after
installing from floppy disks. How much memory is "limited"? (Do you have
4MB?)
I can send you the Debian installation CDs with floppy images - you'll need
a rescue floppy, root floppy, driver 1, 2, 3, and base 1-14. Buy a box of
30, and you'll probably get all of those successfully created - one bad
sector and it's toast. The last set that I made was all good except for
base 8. Sigh... If you have the bandwidth, you can download the images.
Anyway you'll have a fully networked system with lpr, and without needing
any other floppies or CD to work.
Cheers,
James Z
