What would be the best solution for a Wyse thin client with a small 128MB Disk on Module?

#0 CF adapter (will one even fit?) or bigger DOM (expensive)

#1 98lite install (getting a boot loop - missing VIA drivers?)

#2 Tiny Core Linux

Install gentoo with -Os and uclibc or muslc and busybox

>boot loop

Turned out you can't have any usb devices connected at all during the latter parts of the win98 setup - usb legacy support be damned!

It took Microsoft a while to fully support 64-bit CPU's. USB was new in 1998. There isn't really a reason why it would have full support then either.

Yes, and universal mass storage support was fanpatched in as every vendor had their own solution at the time

what is fanpatched?

You name it - with the unofficial service pack Windows 98 is pretty much 2k Lite

This shit is not worth the effort, you would be better of buying some raspberry pi clone

RISC OS is nice but I want my x86 compatibility

>>942855

That's basically Alpine Linuxwhich is derived from Gentoo.

unofficial service patch? fanpatched? Are you saying that people took legitimate windows 98 builds and wrote drivers for them using the windows 98 win32 api? I don't think those drivers work at setup, unless you specify you need a driver for third-party hardware. At least I remember as far back to XP having that option, but IIRC, win98 had it too.

More like took compatible 2k/XP drivers & applications and retrofitted them

That USB driver is a godsend.

What's a good ARM based thin client?


 No.942929

>>942928

At the very minimum one that can have its entire software stack be free software.

>>942825 (OP)

Don't install gentoo but instead build its OS with gentoo.
