[pc110] NEW LINUX INSTALL ON 20MB PC110

I have redone my PC110 config...

I have setup on my 4MB Falsh ROM PCDOS 6.3 & a couple comm utilities I need just for DOS & my Serial I/O card.

I have a 20Mb RAM unit.

I have also the 260MB HDD PC TYPE III drive.

I have split it up between LINUX & WIN95...

On the 1st 148 MB I have WIN 95/DOS. - Works fine...

On the remaining space on the drive (100MB) I want to install a Plain Jane LINUX system w/ X-windows....
1st question, can this be done on a 100 MB drive?
2nd, How big should I make my Swap Space?
3rd, what modules should I install for just basic LINUX & if at all possible X-WIndows?

I just need a small LINUX system that will allow me do basic UNIX comads (for learning) & so I can install a AlphaNumeric paging program that I am hoping will work with the nternal modem....

I have REDHAT 4.2.
If i can get X-Windows going & get it networked with my Xircom PE3 Parallel Adapter (Ethernet), I will be in heaven...

Any help is greatly appreciated....

Josh.
