Comment on Linux on an 8-bit microparent

Comments

What were the limitations and hacks involved in this? I mean, parts of W95 (certainly including explorer.exe) were 32-bit so either they had to be disabled/replaced or the kernel extended with an 80386 emulator.

IIRC it may involve using some parts from Win 3.11 running on MS-DOS 7.0 and other windows 95 parts.
