It was a part of a bigger post, but that was long ago and I know how to 
get around it.

I forgot to copy the boot.img.  I ended up doing it different.  I pulled 
the LightGUI.mod out of 0.4-1 and added it to the 0.4-1b base and added 
my other stuff to that.

Actually the second go around didn't fair much better.  I ran out of ram 
  because the stuff I was going to have copied to /root was too big. 
128MB.  I moved that stuff to a /myfiles dir on the cd.   The .deb 
didn't install so I removed it.  When I ran out of ram X and xfce 
couldn't load into memory.  I got dumped to a command line.

So, after moving the personal files, removing the .deb, and stripping 
one of the minimods out, it boots OK and I can get to the personal 
files.  Now I'm at 343MB.  On that laptop I got sound to work. W00t! 
Curious about the minimod, I loaded the rescue and devel minimods, but I 
couldn't see any different tools avail. in the app menu.  I didn't have 
time to check at the cmd line.
