FYI I have two i386 machines with 8MB ram running linux. One is a 
laptop and one is a normal box. I also have a few small i386 boards with 
8MB which I keep for 'embedded' use, perhaps with NetBsd. There are also 
lots of embedded platforms emerging that have 4-16MB ram. Some are 
*really* small. About the size of a single DIMM ram or smaller. But this 
is not relevant to the boot media.
