wellyeah but if all you've got is a 486 at least
My suggestion would be for Mandrake to compile it and offer it only through
the Mandrake Store or Club for $10 and find some way (even voluntarily)
to keep it off ftp servers. I'd pay the $$ to support Mandrake and get a

I'd rather see the effort put into a 486 version of Mandrake than into a
