No, it is a i386-based CPU. Check the top of the 'dmesg' output at the
"CPU:" line. It should get the '486' there.

Sorry, I dunno that one. It has come up before. Perhaps search the

into the sysinstall (/stand/sysinstall) and choose 'Upgrade.'

a regular file.

No.

is ready to go. Setting up the PPP will likely be the tough step
there. However, there are quite a few tutorials on the topic.
