If no /entropy is found it takes a full minute to do the randomdev
seeding during boot on a P5/133.

Has anybody run a 486 or 386 under current recently ?

Have we defacto discontinued them from current ?

I can see the advantage for the SMPng people in dropping the 386/486
and I'm approaching the level where I would be willing to say: "Sorry,
stick with 4.x for i386/i486".

What is the consensus ?

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
