The point was not to try to force anything on anyone but that you can do it
fairly simply. New drivers does not mean the old ones are thrown away. Just
that new ones are added. Certain distro's do compile for 586 and up, but it's
not that hard to find one that isn't. Recompiling a kernel seems more
daunting than it really is. Anyway, again my point was simply that if you
have a 486 it can be put to use as a f/w.
