Linus,

I know the feeling, have a server whose motherboard needed
flashing, but flash utility only available in 32bit version,
ended up loading Slackware 32bit, worked a treat.

Requires: Intel 486, 64MB RAM, CD or DVD or bootable USB,
          5GB hard drive.
Release notes: http://www.slackware.com/announce/15.0.php
says: The 32-bit x86 version may be found here:
     ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-15.0/
         
Best of luck!

After an all night session of drunken research I've come to the conclusion there are no 32 bit linux distros left that will fit on a CD-R and actually install a desktop, hell DVD-R either. Was going to give my faithful old Dell i486 laptop to a neighbor kid to play with but I think it's dead Jim.
Suggestions?
Those that are left seem to only boot from media and will not install anything to a hard disk.
Must be a screen door blowing shut somewhere that could use it, pretty heavy.
