hi zcrayfish, this article is and special case setup, the main install article is too generic and focused in x64 iso setups with high ramifications.. this article is more focused in x86 32bit cases, that i have almost 200 machines, those almost 30 uses older versions of alpine linux in intranet with no networking.

also, this article make focus on special steps to made for those computers.. by example some kernels does not have support for ISA devices so this must be pointed in!

at last: i separate those kind of articles in a category names "newbie" that currently are mess up with the Guest09248 user now! due the unable to coordinate with him i emailed to staff to removal all my content.. with no so friendly responses.. Mckaygerhard (talk) 12:07, 6 Jan 2022 (UTC)

If it's a "special case", then you should describe that case better. It's recommending installing an unmaintained version of Alpine while not describing an example computer it would benefit, for the nebulous reason that "newer ones run worse." It links to pages that are likely irrelevant for "old computers", like how to install under UEFI. And you repeatedly use the phrase "new machine" even though the article is supposedly about old computers. Arrogance (talk) 03:21, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
