You can also download dynamic and statically linked binaries from the
download mirror and They are huge. The dynamic one is about 4 Mbytes and
the statically-linked is more than 6 Mbyte. My machine is 4 RAM and I

But Slackware 4 should have SVGAlib. I hope you can try out the
precompiled binaries with SVGAlib and let us know how it is.
