The CD-ROMs create a RAMdisk and need a minimum of 24MB last I

And I guess that the floppies work in the same way?

Once you have FreeBSD installed, it will limp along in 16MB
(though not very happily).

Hmm, I see. I'm planning to run X on this old box (it's going to be a
PictureFrame project), perhaps that will not work.

I strongly suggest you find a SODIMM to
expand it.

Ok. Are all SODIMMs equal (ie. a real standard), or do I hvae to look
specifically for memory upgrades for the Armada 1580 (or 1500 series)?
