I have booted Knoppix into command line mode in 64MB, and maybe 32MB.. I'll 
have to go down into the lab and check.  These are ancient Micron Win95 ISA 
machines we have to run old hardware specific in-circuit-emulators from 
Analog Devices.  One machine didn't work, but I think that was because the 
CD-ROM is broken, not because of other resources.
