Welcome to DeLi(cate)

DeLi(cate) is a fork of DeLi Linux 0.8 targeted at very old and low RAM computers.
It's developed independently of DeLi's successor ConnochaetOS.
It's based on the 2.4 series kernel and uClibc to minimize the resource utilization.
We may eventually introduce 2.6 or 3.x series kernels in the future releases in order to support more recent hardware.

Why?

We believe there are still too many owners of old computers somewhere in the world who want to use them.

Minimum requirements:

CPU : i386 (or compatible) / m68020 (MMU+FPU)
RAM : 8MB (console only) / 14MB (with GUI)
HDD : 280MB (with limitations)
        

Recommended configuration:

CPU : i586 @ 233MHz / m68060 @ 100 MHz
RAM : 64MB
HDD : 4GB

NOTE: Recent hardware might work, but it's currently unsupported.

Installation requirements:

CD-ROM : for computers with CD-ROM boot support
Floppy + CD-ROM : for computers without CD-ROM boot support
Floppy + Serial Cable (cross) : for computers with broken or no CD-ROM
Floppy + Network : for computers with broken or no CD-ROM
DOS + CD-ROM : for computers without CD-ROM boot support
Deli Linux 0.8 + Network : for upgrade from Deli Linux
