Before Mandrake considers going forward in the processor
world, could we maybe take a step backwards?
I'd like the *EXACT* same thing, only for i386/i486
processors.
I can rebuild the bulk of the packages myself (my 486
laptop has a small drive, can't put too many on there
anyway), but the installation process and base packages
would make my life 300% better.
Quite a few people have asked for 486 support in the
past, and I understand Mandrake's position on not being
able to recompile 1187 SRPMs for 10 different
architectures, but if you could at least get the
installation process and base packages (what did that
come out to be.. 50-100MB of packages?) recompiled, the
rest of us contributors could do the rest as people
request them, or as we need.
*PLEASE* consider this, as you'll make a *LOT* of people
*REALLY* happy.
