I thought the whole point of ELKS was that it didn't need the MMU of the

I was mistaken, I hadn't seen a version that could run on anything less
than a 386 before. If I known that it would work, I would have kept
that old 286-20 with 2mb RAM that I used to have... :)

Given
enough RAM (640K?), is there any good reason why ELKS couldn't be
ported to the PCjr?
No, I am not volunteering to try it....

I believe that all versions of Linux require a 32+ bit processor to run.
