Hi there.

I am trying to find a CD bootable version of Linux that will work on old PC's.
PC's that are 486, P1, P2 that sort of thing and have arount 32M of memory and 4 or 6 GB hard disk.
Also it must have the options of a internet browser, e-mail client, a word processor and be able to install to the hard drive. ie. boot from CD rom and have a HD install option.

I have tried Puppy Linux but it has too many programs and takes ages to load.

Any ideas ?

Here's a google search that should get you in the ballpark:

I would choose ###### small linux for older pc:s. Super small, but still has all basic stuff in it.

Another light weight option is Puppy linux
