| Are there a set of images to make bootdisk on the ISO's? Since the bios on most i386 machines wouldnt boot from cdrom, it would be nessesary.(Atleast I think so) |

Why do people still use 386's? ...It'd be hell with source-based.  People get new BIOS chips too.

well if you have a few laying in the closet, why not use them for a small home server, such as dhcp, apache, or cluster them, for a nice little compiling setup. there are many uses for old computers. i know i can get 'new' bios chips, but whats the point of a 386 distro then? I just installed LFS on a p100 laptop with 24meg of ram, it took 4 days to install, but i think it was worth it. you dont have to babysit a install, just check on it periodically. |
