yeah,, you could do that I think,,, problem with that, is it might
technically run on a i386, but its still a memory and space hungry OS
compared to what has been "cut down" for use with i386. as far as I am
aware, all the mini distros have been cut down alot to make them more
suitable for slower pc's with lower all around specs, ie like hard disk and
ram...

Subject: RE: Re: [newbie] Linux Mandrake for 386 processor!??!?
Hi everyone
This seems really interesting as a way to use an old computer. But I have
another question.
Can I install this distro of linux and then compile the new sources of LM
8.0 or LM 7.2 so I can have the new kernel running on a 386.
Thanks
Donald Carmona
