The latest Slackware (8.1) still provides a low-mem kernel.
However the standard installation scheme is too big to run
in 8mb RAM. The instructions say 16mb RAM is required,
although 12mb is probably enough with the low-mem kernel.
For machines with less RAM than this, the instructions
recommend ZipSlack (which runs on a DOS filesystem).
There is, however, another option for computers with
8mb RAM or less:

-------------------------------------------
This uses a special low-RAM installation script that
installs Slackware 8.1 to an ext2 partition.
Cheers,
Steven
