@0mega I have an AMD 5x86-133Mhz (stuck at 100Mhz ) that I occasionally put in the system. Boot time is about the same since it feels like floppy IO is the bottleneck.

Successfully running Linux 6.14 on my 486DX2 66Mhz system. Built a stripped down kernel and busybox from source to boot off a 2.88Mb floppy image on my Gotek floppy emulator.

Takes a few minutes to boot, has ATA, networking and framebuffer support.

Because it's the ash shell, neofetch (and others that require bash) don't run, but had Claude write a native ash tool called ufetch.

Todo:

1. Get dhcp working
2. Install/boot from a Compact Flash card
3. X Windows?
