	With mucho typing you CAN get a 2Mb system to load,
	(you have to partially run the install script,
	and manually run portions of it.)
	then reconfigure a kernel without a lot of 
	extraneous drivers, which will boot, run, 
	and support a reasonable 2 user load.
	I've done it.
	The problem with 2 Mb, is that there is no swap
	on the boot floppy, and you are limited to
	2 user processes because of no swap.

	If you want specifics, mail me.
