I've got a few GB to spare on the hard disk of the DOS/WfW Pentium/120 system I'm putting together, and I'd kind of like to get something semi-modern-ish (by which I mean: preemptive multitasking, memory protection, and built-in networking support, ideally with a reasonable GUI option as well) going on it. Windows 9x is out, as it seems to not get along with this particular system very well, and while I could probably get NT/2k going without too much trouble, I have other systems for that. I tried BeOS R5, but that apparently doesn't want to recognize the keyboard and mouse. As far as the Freenix world goes, I was able to boot the NetBSD installer, but that also doesn't appear to be listening to keyboard input, or possibly it's just too slow to respond or something. And MINIX sounds interesting to me, but the new version doesn't appear to have any provision for booting off a floppy disk, and my system is too old to boot from CD natively...
Any suggestions on this?
