Hi all, I'm on the way to replace my old router/gateway (Asus TX-87 board, Cyrix 225 MHz CPU and 128MB RAM) with a new box build around a dual-core Atom board [1]. Because of that I no longer need a i586 version of CRUX. However, if other people still want/need such a version I might consider to build again another one for CRUX 2.7.

I'd appreciate a build of yours. Regards Markus

I have an older machine I would love to rehabilitate. I could definitely use an i586 build of CRUX 2.7.

I have both a shiny new AMD Phenom AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor and a old K6 heck I could put crux on a 486 if I really wanted to. You could bootstrap the old crux 2.6 i586 and rebuild it.
cheers James

Hi Jue, First Please let me say thank you for all you have done for Crux, and are still doing. Like one ot the other respondents I don't NEED a 586 version but soon, when my life becomes less busy, I hope to experiment with one or more favorite older machines. The advantages of Crux have kept me using it since near the beginning but the method of making a new version has only a few times been written (briefly) for users. It would add a lot to Crux if the documentation included a description of the method of making the distribution. I hope that you might do that, or encourage others to do so. Kind regards, clare johnstone
