even if he could get XF86 setup for EGA(maybe he can...) i dont think it would run worth a shit, its better to leave a machine like that in console mode. if you want X, install vncserver and run X apps from remote. i would avoid X on anything less then 200Mhz 48MB (any system i install now is 350MHz 64MB+)
