Do you mean "terminal server" or just "terminal"?
If the former (as in serial concentrator), you
might be able to pull something off, but it seems
unlikely.
If the latter, I think you're out of luck. The
graphics for 640x480x8 are already 300 kilobytes,
probably 600 once you have some windows.
Mail, acme, plumber, fs, and rio are all at
least half a meg each. And then the kernel and kfs
will want some memory too. It might fit, but
you wouldn't be able to breathe.
The install certainly won't work on it -- the install
needs 32MB of memory. The in-memory file system itself
is almost 4MB.
Doesn't seem worth it to me.
Russ
