There are some older kernels floating around, but I don't have any
Dachstein kernels compiled for systems w/o an FPU.  You can find the
Materhorn (2.2.13) and Eiger (2.2.16) kernels on my site:

Only sluggish system response when de-compressing LRP files :)  Once
booted, the system should route traffic fine, as long as you're not
trying to push more than a few mega-bits/sec around.

No...the kernel will load the FPU emulation libraries automatically when
it detects no FPU...all other operation will be identical.

I don't have any suggestions for this one...

Check out the latest developer docs, including ones related to Bering.
They describe how to setup a UML (user mode linux) environment you can
use to compile/test LEAF.
