Thanks Achim. Turns out I had the same (memory?) problem with the boot floppy |
| 27 |
on the cyrix *shrug*, and my 486 is old as ... well it doesn't have a math |
| 28 |
co-processor. Frankly, from the specs on the website, gentoo doesn't look |
| 29 |
like it's a 486 kind of party... That seems reasonable to me. |

I'm gonna have to go shopping. Looking forward to helping out. |
