I did an installation of Debian using the somewhat older installation disks available at the Speakup ftp site on a Pentium II/200 which has 32 megs. I don't specifically know what the minimum RAM requirement is, but you may want to try the recently announced Debian installer on your system. The older one I used installed the 2.4.17 kernel, but a current Debian installer was just announced last week. The Debian approach should be particularly useful as it installs a minimal system first and then allows you to pick and choose what to add.
