So, here's proof positive ARCH 2010.05 can run on old hardware
Toshiba 7000CT Portege with 266mhz 160MB RAM PentiumII 4GB hard drive
specs
cat /proc/cpuinfo
and "lspci"
Actually ALL four nFluxOS versions run on this lappy, but I wanted ARCH installed
I installed the ARCH edition manually via /usr/share.doc/manual-install.
