Regarding a distro, yiu have to go back a long time.
Not really. I tried this a handful of years ago (2.6.13 with sash initramfs on a 5 MB RAM machine). All that was needed is to have a glibc compiled with -march=i386 instead of the usual -march=i586. The remaining programs were able to be reused from their i586 packages. (Remember to turn on FP emulation in the kernel as well.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
