Greetings,

I've recently aquired and resurrected an old HP PIII w/ 166MB RAM(have not check the MB details yet, due to lack of time), I'll probably use two of my old A4000 IDE HDD(both 240MB), and I was wondering if I can install AROS to play around with it for kicks, since I'm quite new to AROS.

Yes, you can install bare AROS and some applications on a 240 MB hard drive, but don't be so enthusiast: much time lasted since you could use less than half gigabyte of total space on a A4000, and that space is absolutely not enough for new apps AROS is aiming at.

In a nutshell: buy a 20 Gigs hard drive and live happier.

cool! I should be good to go then. I also plan connect it online(dial-up) once I've set it all up. Is it fairly simple to do on AROS?

Thanks!

Nope. The way to connect to the Internet is via a local area network. Just plug a supported network card into your machine, and connect the AROS box to a router. If you haven't a router, you can easily share a internet connection using your every-day computer: just connect it to the Internet, and to the AROS box using a cross-ethernet cable.

BTW: License wise am I allowed to distribute you a CD image?  

As many time as you wish.
