linux notetaker

[Glenn Ervinat home]

Here is some info on my David 386 laptop, if anyone knows if it is enough to
run Linux, and any speculations as to whether it would be able to address
the Braille keyboard & display.
I don't know yet how much ram mine has, as I need to take it in and see
about replacing the cMos battery, and I'll see about upgrading any hardware
then...

If it's 386 it should work, provided it has enough RAM.
How much RAM does it have? You may need to use of the
the lowmem kernels ...
