The i686 one is similar, so you should've linked to that one instead, IMO. ;-) Anyways, I'm surprised it's a fairly new gcc (4.4.6). I'll bet that takes most of the space, too, though maybe with .so files (esp. glibc) it probably isn't as bad. I can only guess what they use it for. Bare bones development or maybe recompiling the kernel or other "simple" stuff (with few dependencies). It definitely looks interesting, but I'd imagine it's much harder to use for common things than it looks (sadly). I had vaguely thought they weren't updating the i486 one anymore, but it's still there (though no GCC). I wonder why they didn't include TinyCC there (or why that isn't more widely deployed in Linux distros!!). Anyways, it seems crippled by the "needs 28 MB" requirement as most 486s (hi Japheth) don't have that much, heh. Though I suppose you could just download (retawq) FreePascal and use that instead. ;-) Oops, but you'd still need ld linker, doh. (lina Forth perhaps then? Lua? Python? REXX? AWK?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
