i'm trying to install QEMU on a Damn Small Linux installation in order to emulate pentium features in a 486 computer.
Though DSL was descontinued, it's the only linux that runs reasonably on the 486 processor, most recent kernels doesn't even boot on 486 architecture.
I tried Tiny Core Linux, but it doesn't work in 486, so i seem to have no escape here.
The most recent image of DSL is from 2008, it uses kernel 2.4.x, and i couldn't find a way to compile QEMU on it.
Firstly, it lacks several compile tools needed for compiling it, and, it have several dependency problems.
I tried some pre-compiled packages, but the only one that worked was a QEMU 5.2 RPM package (it didn't had dependency problems), and it was way too old, it wasn't capable of running windows yet, it just gave me the option of emulating a code, not a full OS as windows, and it also didn't give me the option to choose which architecture i wanted it to emulate (-cpu option).
Can anyone help me with this?
Also, if someone can think of some alternative to it, i'd be grateful.
Thanks.
