Also, yesterday a new version of the unstable kernel was released, 2.5.50. You can download it from kernel.org (if someone has a good list of mirrors, please post, I'd prefer not to post the actual download link so we don't/. is to death) and the changelog can be viewed here. Aside from this, I assume all of those who use the currently schedule 1 substance in the US known as tetrahydrocannabinol should be able to appreciate the current version number of the stable release, 2.4.20, lol. If you mod this down for saying that, then I'm very dissapointed in you and your narrowminded cultural views.

It's a scary thing to do, but you would also benefit from recompiling glibc for the 486. The scary part is when you replace the old one, if you screw up your box stops working.
You should boot of a CD and mount your root volumne in/mnt on the ramdisk you're running when you do this - if you replace glibc on a running system and you break it, then you can't issue any commands anymore!
I have an old 486 laptop that I plan to install on sometime soon. I had originally intended to install Debian Woody, but Debian's minimum disk space after you've run dselect the first time is bigger than this thing's whole hard drive. Slackware doesn't have that problem.

Ad infinitum.
You should recompile your kernel to be optimized for 486 though. I'm not sure, but I think it could make a difference.
Here's where you get slackware.
