• version 1.5 can run on 512KB XT
• Up to 2.0.0 can run (barely!) on 640KB XT with networking
  • using WD8003 or NE1000/2000
  • using BIOS disk driver
  • all other kernel options disabled (recompiled, of course)
  • can support any two of ftpd, httpd, telnetd at a time
• Doesn't include swapping support until 2.0.3, but kernel is large enough to still require 2MB RAM
