	Hmm... that's a toughie. You might try Gentoo -- I'm sure Josiah will 
suggest such -- I'm not sure how long it would take to compile 
everything on that system, but when it is done, it ought to be as fast 
as it possibly can be.

	TrollTech use to have a Qtopia based distribution that was on floppy, 
but I doubt that would meet your needs, since you want to use ham radio 
software on it. Any chance you can upgrade that ram?
