As Debian has officially stated, you must have a minimum of 128 MB of RAM to do an install. Debian itself might run on less after installation. Yes, I realize this is a late reply, but the statement that you can only install Slackware isn't true, provided you have at least 128 MB of memory. You could also set up a virtual machine to do the install and somehow use dd to copy the raw virtual image to the Pentium hard drive. You could also try an older version of Debian and upgrade.
