The Slackware ARM port didn’t begin on a Raspberry Pi — it began on Acorn StrongARM RiscPC hardware over two decades ago.

That meant reviving NFSv2 support on a modern Linux server, as the old Slackware installer didn't support anything newer. Kernel recompiles, downgrade of nfs-utils. Vintage network assumptions… proper Unix archaeology.

Eventually it booted & KDE 3.5 even came back to life on the StrongARM system!!
