Is 1.1 instalable on a 4 Meg memory machine?

[R Chris Ross]

     A while back I attempted to install Debain on a NEC Versa S 
laptop.  Since I only had 4 megs of ram the install wouldn't run.  
The install was for .93R6, but is the 1.1 install runable in low 
memory machines?  I had no problem loading Slackware so the thing 
runs Linux fine.  Any suggestions would be appriciated.
