Hi Marcel,

did you try to install Sarge with the new kernels or did you try the  
same old kernels with Debian Woody installer?
The new Sarge installer kernels will not work because just the  
installer RAM disk needs 16 MB.
I could prepare a Woody installer kernel for you - but 16 MB is much  
too low for anything; an X server will never really work because you'd  
have to wait half an hour or so until a window manager is loaded.
With 16 MB RAM you could only use the PB as a router or something like  
that. In order to use applications you should have at least 32 MB.
The minimum RAM that Sarge will be able to run on is 24 MB if I  
remember correctly.
