Any ideas of what to do here...

I have a 486DX 100 on an old asus board w/20mb of ram. I have a vid card and a nic that I can use in this setup. I tried lastnight to get linux to install on it but it has a hard time recognizing the cdrom. I have a 1g hd that has been LLF'd to install something on. I am looking into getting another hd, maybe 20g, and would be able to use that in there. What can I do with this system? Any ways to get linux up on there? I have redhat5.2 and mandrake7.1. I've heard of linux being run off a floppy, but where can I get it? Also, I want to be able to connect to my linksys router to connect to my dsl. All ideas welcome

http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3#486 That is for 486 machines, as far as getting on the internet, use the Linuxconf program to set you IP, Gateway and DNS settings. There are a couple floppy based Linux products and it really depends on what yuou want to do with it. Coyote is one, Linux Router Project and Freesco are some others.

I think that's the same one I tried, but not sure. I'm gonna dl it anyways. Thanks
