You could write a script to do this and create a desktop icon to execute the script. I'm no script guru, but I assume that it could be done. (It sounds feasable to me though)

Title: 486 question
Got a little dillema... I have a 486 that I'd like to load LM 7.2 on. Problem is that Mandrake has no 486 support save the lonely 7.0 cd. Can I install the normal 586 distro on my 486 and recompile the kernel with 486 support or am I out of luck?
(BTW, it's a 486/66 w/10
that should run on your 486 just fine
