[ltp] Can my LTP project get off the ground?

[Vincent -LKV-]

I have a TP 560 (2640-10U?) with 2 Gigs and 24 MB inside.  There's no IBM=

external floppy drive or IBM CD-ROM.  Here's what else I (might) have at =
my
disposal:

- Imation SuperDisk PCMCIA drive
- H45 QuickCD 16X PCMCIA drive
- MegaHertz Modem/LAN card (XJEM-something) PCMCIA
- Iomega Zip 100 Parallel drive

Right this minute, the only way to get data into this laptop is via the
(untested) modem card.  The LAN portion will come up once I get the right=

dongle.  =


I'm going to research installing FreeBSD 4.5 via a network connection, bu=
t I'm
assuming it's possible if both laptops (the one receiving FreeBSD and the=
 one
installing it on the receiver) are running Windows.

Here's what I'd like to set up on the 560:

- FreeBSD 4.5
- XFree86
- Opera for Linux
- Mozilla for Linux (i386)

I prefer to erase any remnant of DOS/Windows, too.

Do I have enough firepower to pull this off?  I'm most concerned about my=

memory status.  I have 24 MB now, but the maximum is 40 MB.  Are there po=
pular
or critical components that I won't be able to run with this setup?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
