What are you trying to do? I loaded a very old version of slackware
on to a 486 with only 4MB of ram to basically use as a dumb terminal 
about a year ago. There were special instructions on how to do a low
 memory install. If you are trying for this I'll see if I can find my
notes on how I did it.
