Remove the hard drive , and swap it ino another chasis with a cdrom. Go throgh the whole install , and reboot it and let it do the configureation stuff. Then reboot agien to check that it reboots and has finished the install prossess completly.

then remove and put back into the original box. Trust me , this is the fastest and easiest way if you value your time. once its up and running you can do the updates off a shered cdrom. Its just takes forever to do an install on a 486 , as well as a long timne for the configureration

to finish. Its easier to watch the install on a pentuip 75 or better. Wuit a diffrence.

Mater of fact I plan on picking up a used bare bones P133 or somthing just for this and for testing parts in.No need to tear a cpu apart to test something ot upgrade a hard drive ect...

the soundblaster-connected CD-ROM is supported by the SuSE installation kernel. Install from CD, recompile the kernel to include the SB Panasonic cd driver, or you'll find the cd you installed from isn't accessible after reboot.

is that it is very old, having a CD (I installed several years after it was bought) that is very non-standard. I hope I can somehow install w/o using this CD, as I imagine there's a lot of work getting it to function (the CD is connected to a create soundblaster sound card).
