[Rule-list] 8M install report

It worked!

It took nearly an hour to get to the point where it began installing 
packages, but it is currently installing them. The free report:

	total	used	free	shared	buffers
Mem:	5948	5440	508	0	2596
Swap:	98744	34172	64572	
Total:	104692	39612	65080

The system is an old Compaq Pressario 4122 upgraded to a P-200 processor. 
I left 16M of RAM in the machine, and booted with 'linux ks=floppy 
updates mem=8M'

I had to manually negotiate the 2 warning screens regarding swap, and 
then had to agree to enabling swap early. (Since the installer is 
blissfully unaware at this point that it is already using swap.) The code 
changes need to be dealt with far better than I have done at this point, 
but as far as a proof of concept goes, I'm going to call this a success. 
;)
