    I have an old thinkpad with a pentium one processor and 128mb of ram. it curently has windows 2000 on it but there are no drivers for windows 2000. So i wanted to put linux on it and i have used fedora 10 and was hoping to use ndiswrapper to utilize the windows 95 drivers that they provide. but fedora 10 takes too much processing power for this old laptop. So i was wondering if there was a linux out there that would meet my needs. Oh and I only have a floppy disk drive to install from, cant boot from cd. I suppose I could use unetbootin if I needed to.

    puppy linux is the baby for a machine like that. read their site for installation options.. unless you like building your own debian that is.
