Other Help Topics :: 486SX with no coprocessor



I tried to install DSL on my 486SX 25MHz machine, but when I try to boot, it ends with error: "No coprocessor found and no math emulation present. Giving up." I don't know what to do... Please help me.
that's easy,

if there is no co-processor (goes in the proc mount nets to the 486sx) DSL won't work. easy as that.

now, go toss that thing in a dumpster. when someone pulls the co-proc out, it makes em useless.

Sorry.
Try a search for small linux.  You have some options that are more difficult than DSL.  

http://www.superant.com/smalllinux/ - works on 386 w/ 2 or 4MB of ram.  I had a 386 that was given to me that works and could do this.  Mine is also missing a math co-processor.  I want to go from 4MB to 8MB of ram too.  Why mess with it?  Because I can!!

http://mulinux.sunsite.dk/  - I used this one for a while a couple of years ago.  It's all floppy based.  After that I found freesco, www.freesco.org, floppy based router.
Maybe a strange idea, but isn't it possible to recoMpile the kernel and add Math eMulation ? I don't know, just guessing. :D
Or you can give www.freeDOS.org a go :D

Bring back some old DOS to life :P
