Think
you are out of luck I am afraid... they won't install...
you
could load mdk 7 and then use it to compile all the src rpm's from 7.2 (a long
job I am afraid) to i486, and assuming that glibc and so on are compatable,
(they probably are) then you would eventually have a total 486 version of
7.2....
you
are better of to get redhat 7.1 last time I checked, they are still compiling
for i386... so that should run on your 486 just fine

Subject: [expert] 486 questionGot a little dillema... I have a 486 that I'd like to load LM 7.2 on. Problem is that Mandrake has no 486 support save the lonely 7.0 cd. Can I install the normal 586 distro on my 486 and recompile the kernel with 486 support or am I out of luck?
(BTW, it's a 486/66 w/100MB ram, 1.7GB hd, 12x CDROM, and a pair of 3Com ISA nics)
