you do know that that code is pre 2000
it is three GENERATIONS of software and hardware out of date
the linux 2.1 kernel is ANCIENT it is from 1996
are you using a OLD desktop (or 20 year old hardware) that had win95 installed
there is NO WAY you can install a 16 bit operating system on 64 bit hardware
i am not even sure that Vmware supports 16 bit operating systems
a 32 bit yes but the antique RH7 in the above link ??????? maybe
look for 20 year old computers to use
