If memory serves, 2.1.5 was the last boot.flp that would boot unaltered
on a 4 meg machine.

I have a 386 SX/20 with 4 megs of RAM (appropriately named 'musca')
running 2.1.5; as soon as I get a few things organized (including a NFS
partition to build on), I'll upgrade it to the latest 2.1-STABLE, and
there it shall stay until the poor thing is laid to rest sometime in the
(hopefully far) future; it's a good printserver.
