Have you tried it with one of the smaller 2.2 kernels? I know there is a way to boot to the 2.2.19 based installer when using CD's. Is this posible when using floppies? Might be something to consider.
My biggest question here is, is it really worth the time to try and install the i586 based LM 8.0 onto a 486? Doesn't that really defeat the purpose?
