If you suggest a kernel/kernels please also provide a url so that we may 
retrieve it/them.

I would like any other opinions that anyone has. I'm running a performa
460 (apparantly grouped with LCIII's). 
Some specs are:
1.2.1 release
030 proccessor
NO FPU
12 MB RAM
100 MB root&user 24 MB swap (Syquest EZ-135 Drive)
mkfs 1.4
installer1.1e
booter 1.10 (I'm using Das Boot 0.01a2)
