Hi all,

Thought I'd share my experience trying T2603:

First in qemu-system-i386 running on a Raspberry Pi 400 (so, software
emulation):

 - Whole experience was sluggish, right from the start. Every screen of
   the installer would visibly build up top-to-bottom. To be expected
   perhaps, considering the software emulation?
 - First installation failed while copying FDMINES with an unclear
   error.
 - Recreated the virtual disk, manually created and formatted the
   partition first, and then it went through without problems.
 - FDIMPLES was unusably slow.
 - Otherwise, worked great!

Then, on a Dell Inspiron 510m laptop:

 - Installation went super smooth
 - FDIMPLES still very slow, arrowing from one option to the next would
   take a second or too. But not unusuable, and in the end I got my
   packages installed.
 - Then installed Windows 3.11. Had to manually copy the lines from
   AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS, and set PageOverCommit=1 because the
   machine has 1G of memory (*1). But even after that starting Windows
   would crash/reboot the machine.
 - No other issues! Perfectly usable. SUDO worked too ;-)
