Latest 32bit EasyOS?

Post by Trapster »

I have found an easy-4.3.5(Dunfell) for my old asus laptop but it seems outdated and updates do not work.
What and where is the latest 32bit EasyOS?

That's it. I stopped building 32-bit x86 EasyOS years ago.

Dunfell 4.3.5 was released Aug. 2022 and it was the last one.
But it is no longer on ibiblio, and all of its packages are also gone.

The last 32 bit system I had (and still have) is a Toshiba Portege R500, production year 2007 (almost 20 years ago). It was a very good machine for its time (I miss Toshiba as PC manufacturer).
The real reason why I keep this laptop is that I don't want to forget how software once was. It basically cannot be used any more because it's very noisy, runs hot, wastes a lot of energy, has a very short battery life, and the screen above all has the lowest contrast imaginable. It was anyway impressive because of the weight (lower than 1000 grams), even with the inclusion of a CD/DVD RW drive. It's a little bit like driving a car of the end of the '70s: they were all very slow and noisy: that was normal. There are other reasons than the 4 GB RAM limitation not to use 32 bit systems any more.

Actually, I have a project now that I have successfully got EasyOS running in a qemu-kvm VM via virt-manager (like a changing from a manual to an automatic driven car) . I want to get a recent, probably the Slacko 32-bit pup and follow the steps to convert it into an sfs and run it in a container. The idea is to download a recent 32-bit WINE pet and get my old Windows XP freeware and associated data files running without getting all the complications of 32 vs 64-bit architecture and WINE, which I admit I understand conceptually but I really don't understand in practise how to make it work.
