Not quite. Not "Linux machines based on the 8086" more "Linux based on
the 8086".
If you can't distinguish the difference between 8086 and 80x86 maybe you
should read up on it some more.

We don't mind 8086 linux questions, that's 100% what the list is for, but
8086, NOT x86 (as the list implies).
The dosemu list is called linux-msdos. We never have a problem with
people posting there saying they can't get DOS and Linux working on the
same machine, so why should we have people posting here about problems
which are unrelated to the list?
