If memory serves me (which is very rarely) a 486dlc chip was made by IBM and it was well known during the early 90's (when I got into PC repair) that both the Cyrix and IBM clone 486's where not quiet as "cloned" as IBM/Cyrix wanted you to believe (same thing as today with the AMD vs. Intel war...but it was a IBM vs. Cyrix vs. AMD vs. Intel war at the time) I think Charles is using the DachStein-Small kernel for the floppy image and in which case its compiled for 486 without FPU compiled into the kernel (which I think a 486DLC had no FPU). If you want to compile a kernel that might work vist Charles's site (http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/cstein/files/kernels/Dachstein-small/) and give adding FPU to the kernel a shot or even droping the kernel into 386 w/FPU might help. Or just upgrade to a low end pentium...since a 486 WILL lag after a 1mbit of DSL traffic ( I upgraded at home from a AMD586-133 to a Intel P200MMX (overkill but it was just collecting dust) and it shocked me how quicker my downloads became)
