PC-98 Linux do be painful:

- Plamo Linux/98 is basically Slackware for Japs, so all the traits of Slackware transfer over
- Last update was v3.3 in 2004. No modern package management and other stuff to help you out
- Kernel had to be built from source to fix a bunch of issues like a broken /dev/mouse and CD-ROM mounting
- XFree86 3.3 was fucked with Matrox GFX, had to manually install XFree86 4.2
- XF86Config!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- The provided WindowMaker package didn't work with XFree86 4.2, so I upgraded to wmaker 0.80
- The NIC didn't work initially, so until then I had to transfer files over null-modem serial. Eventually I fixed it by forcing IRQ 3 on C-bus slot 1 with PCISETUP.EXE in DOS, after which ne_probe() detected it
- ALSA luckily built without a hitch, /dev/dsp works. I don't use any sound server atm tho, not sure if I should go with esound or something else

There's a provided ONScripter package on the contrib CD, so I might do something with that.
