Thank you.
If you want to have only a router then use FreeSCO at
<http://www.freesco.org/>
Here you even don't need a HDD, only a floppy.
No thanks, I know about the router distros. I need something with
compilers too.
Does the system have a FPU (486DX or higher)?
I had an old 486SX laptop and everything I tried assumed that you had a
FPU (ie the kernel was built without FPU emulation). The best thing for
such a low-end machine might be FreeDOS (http://www.freedos.org). There
are free compilers (the Borland TC 2.1 and TC++ 1.1), OpenWatcom and
others that can be used on it.

Ok cool. However I'v forgotten all DOS commands, hence why i was hoping
for something linux.
