Is there a method to get a 586 (i586 text) install to a 486 level? I am looking for information guidance on this. I have looked into using debian/386 which stinks in my opinion, slackware doesnt quite have it either.
So I am wishing/hoping there is a NOT TO painful way to get a 586 install to run on a 486 chip.
I have been searching but havent found anything useful. If anyone knows what might need to be done I would appreciate it.
Sorry, I have no clue about your question. However, I have several AMD K6 chips (pentium-equivalent) lying around should you trip over a motherboard that'll run them. That would solve your 486 problem, I think, so let me know if such a chip would help you out.
