Compile your own (unsupported) kernel then. We haven't supported Anything lower than Pentium for over a year and a half. Anything lower than Pentium that worked, worked by coincidence, and not because it was officially supported. Time to upgrade your hardware, stay at an older release of the distro, recompile your own kernel, or possibly even switch to a distro that offers support out of the box for ancient hardware. And yes, I have several boxes which are less than the lowest system requirements. It's trivial to make the distro run on unsupported hardware, it just takes a bit of ingenuity. And.... it is unsupported. But I don't mind. ;o) -- Mike A.
