Not a specific 2.2.4 problem. But since there are lots of 486-scroungers on
this list, I thought that this hint might be helpful.... and reduce
Aspirin consumption...;>/

One of my old 486 has a Bios not made for  disks larger than 540mb but it
can still recognize and ident a 1gb disk  and load its  parms into the bios
setup table. But when I load/run Linux with the 1gb disk , it slows down
enormously and so becomes useless. Detailed reason why unclear to me. I
thought Linux was BIOS independent more or less! I am sure there are
workarounds to that problem, like ezdisk etc.
