I loaded it on a Dell 466ME and it is running happily (although of course it is slow).
I didn't do anything special, just loaded it from CD. Interesting.

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.
