It should not take that long. I've been bored enought to see how long KDE takes to start on a 486dx4, before... it takes just a little while to install and 15 minutes or so for it to start... I why not just put that drive in the amd system and use it there? If you are looking to experiment with FreeBSD, I would really suggest that. Far better compile times and ect. If you want to keep using p133, I suggest trying to find a bit more ram and use a light windows manager. Blackbox, fvwm, WindowsMaker, and the like should all work nicely on it.
