I have a compaq LTE Elite 4/75C
It's a monster with a 75MHz 486 with 24MB of RAM. I upgraded the original HDD with one from a dead Dell Latitude. 4.7GB.
It really made the project possible. I created 6 partitions:
/dev/hda1 - / [2GB]
/dev/hda2 - (slackware disc1) [652MB]
/dev/hda3 - /usr/src [1GB]
/dev/hda5 - /root [500MB]
/dev/hda6 - /var [400MB]
/dev/hda6 - swap [remainder]
Anyway, used a 2.5" IDE adapter and an external USB drive to load on the slackware data from another machine.
I proceeded to install using bare.i, install.1, and install.2.
Afterwards, I used distcc to speed up compiling. the 2.6.3 kernel took about two hours using several computers. The laptop became the bottle neck, it could not serve files fast enough for my 6GHz cluster.
Too bad I broke the NIC drivers, and had to compile again (four freakishly long days to compile).
Yeah, it's been fun.
