Hi,
If your 486 has a ethernet card, you can put cdrom in another machine and
using 2 floppies you can put debian in it. I have done it with slink on a
486 with less than 100mb harddisk
Best of luck

Indeed. Really. The chance to avoid swaps is incredible. The
only problem is that not all older boards support that much of
RAM (and not all of them support even 72-way me

Hi Daniel,
I've done exactly what you have on an old 486. What you DO need is a floppy
drive and an internet connexion. An old external modem should do the trick.
Go to your local debian mirror and find the floppies. You should be able to
get potato boot disks at:
ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dist
