I think the X11 will be the big problem. Hm. 24MB of RAM. That's
really really small.
It will be much easier to get LaTeX to run in that environment than X.
I used to use X with 32 MB and it wasn't fun. I used the Ion window
manager to avoid excessive swapping, but it was still easy for the
laptop to swap. Hm. But there is a Tiny-X or somesuch howto, maybe
that helps.
