A long time ago I remember installing gentoo on a 486 33Mhz (Tandy I think). I initially compiled everything on a much faster Athlon XP. I do remember compiling an updated kernel on the 486 and that it took 3 days, but it did finish :D
I remember the hard drive was too big to boot from directly, there was some bootloader that could run from the floppy disk then finish booting from the hard drive.
It also had this horrible sound card/cd-rom combo controller that I never was able to make work in linux
