Well actually Slack was still installed. The only exclude mentioned in 
config.opts is irq 4 for the first built in serial port..

I copied the the relevant config files to a floppy and started re-installing 
mdk7.2. Interesting to see if and which diffs there are. It'l take a while 
with the p133 though:)

After that's worked out I'l be giving 8.1 a try. On installing 8.1 with 
'expert' option the first demand is about optional 3rd party kernels on 
specific floppys.
I'm not quite in the clear as to exactly which floppies are meant and how to 
acquire them.
