It's installed to the hard disk, LILO and all. Now, for the interesting part -- boot time. Coldboot to "Please press Enter to activate this console. " is... Around 45 seconds (not a scientific measurement). On a Pentium I. Wow.
Not kidding about these: 1GB hard drive, BasicLinux uses 5MB! 16MB RAM, BasicLinux (with only X running) uses 3MB (this is with buffers and shared subtracted) 133MHz processor, and I can't truly say how many cycles BasicLinux is using, but it doesn't seem much.
My only gripe (that I suppose I can't do much about) is that moving windows around is laggy, but that's what I get for using a generic video configuration.
did you do a complete install or just run from within dos?
Do you no where i might find a how to on this, i am just about to pick up a pentium one 800 mb hardrive and 16mb ram laptop with windows 95 any help greatly appreciated mate

What is the RAM, Hard disk space (used and free) and CPU speed?
