Nope, no go. I downloaded grml small, checked md5sum, and burned the
disk. I put it in the pentium box, and booted up. After waiting about
10 seconds once the disk started spinning, I hit tab, space, and typed

swap ssh=test

and hit enter. The cd kept spinning for a while, and then stopped. The
pentium machine doesn't respond over ipv6, and I didn't see it trying
to grab a ipv4 address from my dhcp server. When I type reboot on that
box, and hit enter, nothing happens, and pressing the button on the
cd-rom drive ejects the disk right away. So, that's that, either 64
megs isn't enough, or grml also doesn't support i586. Any other ideas
would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Greg
