something to tinker with;

http://mephitus.renamon.org/sindi/m_stl-0.4.img.gz

its 'serial terminal linux' redone to hopefully boot on a 386sx (the
original versions wouldnt...) but i dont have a 386sx to test it
with...

to install format a floppy (1.44mb) gunzip the file and use dd or
rawrite to write the image to the disk...

if you are curious its a small linux kernel that boots straight into
minicom... hopefully it works...  the default settings are not....
optimal and color doesnt seem to work but you can talk to the modem
with it ;)

mainly i just want to see if it'll boot or not....
