As far as I know, Mandrake will only work on pentium machines and higher 
(for x86).
You may want to look into getting a leaner distribution for a 486 
anyway, otherwise it may be somewhat slower than reasonable.

As a side note, when replying to messages on the list, do not quote the 
whole message.  
(I know it's the default for a quite a few mail clients out there). 
 Instead, just quote parts
that are relavent to your message and intermingle them within your 
message to keep
things in context.  If none of the message really seems relavent then 
consider starting
a new thread instead of replying to an existing one.

P.S. Welcome to the list.
