Hi,

Even Tiny Core Linux would be (way) too big for that ancient machine. The EPROM in that computer only holds 32 KB of data!

Have you seen this website?:

Any of the installer images and the minimal live will give you a minimal system. Only the desktop-live forces you to take the whole desktop. Uncheck everything (or everything except 'standard system utilities' and the tasksel window.

Hello,

I am trying to install Linux with a tiny install on a NEC PC-8201.

After soldering a lot to fix it, now the machine is operational I gave it a new life.
Getting a really small Devuan, right? Do you think that there is a small install of devuan available for such perfs.?
