Okay, I remember telling in the FPC list my concerns about the ussage of
FPC programs in machines laking 387, and I was told there was an
emulator. It seems that it's optionally linked to code, and I guess
there's a compiler directive to do so.
I don't know if the author of the graphic installer is reading this, but
in this case, it's just a question of recompiling with $E:
From the documentation:
1.2.8 $E : Emulation of coprocessor
This directive controls the emulation of the coprocessor. There is no
command-line counterpart for
this directive.
Intel 80x86 version
When this switch is enabled, all floating point instructions which are
not supported by standard
coprocessor emulators will give out a warning.
The compiler itself doesn’t do the emulation of the coprocessor.
To use coprocessor emulation under DOS go32v2 you must use the emu387
unit, which contains
correct initialization code for the emulator.
Under LINUX and most UNIX’es, the kernel takes care of the coprocessor
support.

Please can you confirm that 387 is required (and the FPC emulator does
not work)?
I've tried the SVGA installer on my 386sx and it failed misrebly.
