BTW, neither BIOS nor cassette ROM map to low memory--BIOS starts in the
0E range for PS2s, 0F for normal ATs, cassette Basic having a
start of about 0F6000. This might provide some interesting
consequences, as the Linux Kernel maps BIOS with all zeros, the
BIOS being unnecessary to the

On x86 you've got 20 address lines, this is 0-1mb. What do you think the

This is unverified, but
I think the Basic-hook is still there, untouched.
But some of the EPROM area reserved for Basic has been used for the setup
subprograms.

Nowhere. There is a memory area meant for

Hi there,
I am a student and working on Linux related project.
In my proposed setup I don't have hdd/fdd. I am just having CDROM drive
and 16MB RAM, 486 PC. I am interested in booting linux from CDROM and run
a browser like Netscape from the same CD.
Pl. comment on this and would be delighted

Wrong list. This list is for Linux on 286 or lower CPU machines

I'm happy to announce that I've just heard that Opera Software has
just ported their fully functional web browser to Microwindows!
They have sent me a screen shot, which I will post. The port
uses the Nano-X API, and runs in client/server mode. Full
color support, palette mapping, jpeg and
A big thanks to Tony Rogvall for writing Microwindows mouse,
screen and keyboard drivers for X11. This means that X11
users can now develop Microwindows applications from within
the X environment, running them as another X Window. Currently
the size of the Microwindows application window is
Hi there,
Sorry to bother you again.
Is it possible to run a browser on linux running on 286 or lower cpu m/c?
Can I connect CDROM drives to those m/cs.
For the record, I used a CDROM with my 286 with no problem, I used a
SoundBlaster cd drive, but IDE and SCSI should work fine as well.
