- This is my hardware:
-
- -486/50Mhz (DX2)
- -8 MB RAM (Goldstar 70ns SIMMs)
- -Trident 8900c or CVGA1024 (Western Digital chip set)
- -Morse VGAPlus SVGA-monitor
- -Toshiba 105MB ATID
- -Quantum 240MB ATID
- -3.5" HD floppy drive
- -SoundBlaster 1.0
-
- The problem is that compiling (make all) Linux 0.97pl5 source (from
- nic.funet.fi) takes about 25 minutes! Isn't this much too slow for
- 486/50?!? I have tried this both under pl2 and pl5, compiler was GCC 2.2.2d.
-
- Could this be some kind of hardware incompatibility problem? My box used to
- be 386/25, until I bought this 486/50 motherboard. I think there could be
- something wrong with my HDD/FDD controller, because it's rather old and
- sometimes I get 'HDD control failure' (or something like that..) after
- memory check.
