Hi all,

I just set up an old laptop as a little X-terminal. I used Xdenu, a
two-floppy Xserver dist. It works well on my little 4-meg laptop.

I find myself wanting to add some software to it, though. The problem is
that it is an 1.x kernel using libc4, yes, that's a.out!

I thought I would just install an old Linux with VMware or plex86, so I
looked on Redhat and slack's website, but their oldest archived distro's
are still libc5/ELF-based.

So how hard is it to set up a cross-compiler to generate a.out binaries?

Anybody got an old 386 linux box that I can have a shell on?

Are there any Linux historians on the list? 8-)

Thanks,
Mark
