I did nothing special to get it to run on my 486. I booted off of the boot
floppy, chose "custom", and away I went...

Please tell me how you managed to get it to run on a 486.
It's not
supposed to work on a 486 (I'm currently compiling a 486
compatible
version though) and we never claimed it would.
If you keep using this version on a 486, you'll probably run
into a lot
more problems. You should wait for the 486 version (should
be only a
couple of days from now), or use a distribution that wasn't
made for
Pentium+ processors.
