That will allow an UMSDOS installation: not very fast file access but
good enough to have a look at muLinux, learn about the underlying
concepts and consider to buy another harddisk and insert a little bit
more RAM. ;-)

Maybe you nevertheless will try muLinux: there is a possibility to
create a swap-file during the setup process. By that way you should be
able to install it as UMSDOS and work at bearable speed.
But please, do NOT try to install the X-addon-floppy: with 4 MB RAM
you would be very disappointed.
