Hmmm, no answers... It seems to me like crazy project, which nobody on Earth
would ever undergo. To promote it from crazy to totally insane I could give a drive
to one of my oldies. Like
- 486DX
- 386DX + 387 / 32MB RAM
- 386DX / 4MB RAM with ISA Trident 512KB
(no 386SX / 486SX;) just to see, how deep we can sink with those old ships :-))
I would let Pentium and Pentium MMX docked for being too modern.
So when testing old kernels (Debian distributions) – If that ever compile what
else could be interesting? GCC version? Libc version? X version?
How to interpret successful test
- compilation? (pre-compiled in VM)
- Running winecfg??
- Running MS Paint???
