My server is running a 486DX-50 with 32 MB RAM, and is happily running Apache 1.0.5 in standalone mode, with no trouble. As I recall, the Apache docs specified some adjustments to the configuration to run under inetd; you may have trouble if you didn't make the changes. You may need to download the original package from http://www.apache.org and compile that after reconfiguring for inetd. You may prefer to go back to standalone mode instead. It responds a little faster that way, and keeps a few child servers idle in case of simultaneous requests. I hope this helps! Ken
