After waiting about 10 seconds once the disk started spinning, I hit tab, space, and typed swap ssh=test and hit enter. The cd kept spinning for a while, and then stopped. The pentium machine doesn't respond over ipv6, and I didn't see it trying to grab a ipv4 address from my dhcp server. When I type reboot on that box, and hit enter, nothing happens, and pressing the button on the cd-rom drive ejects the disk right away. So, that's that, either 64 megs isn't enough, or grml also doesn't support i586. Any other ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.
