With some crack Linux hackers we should be able to whip up something that runs on a 486 (using a miniature Linux distro for embedded devices and a very lean webbrowser like Dillo).
Now that would be something I'd like to see. If we ever seriously got behind such a project, I think the guys working on dillo would actively support us. The goals of the dillo project are completely in line with this sort of work.
I just gave Dillo a quick try -- I'm quite impressed that it does as much as it does in 343,840 bytes (on my mac!) but it doesn't seem to support Unicode yet. That'll need to get fixed. Hopefully I can convince someone else to do it so I don't get sucked into another project. :)
But yeah, that could make a cool "bootable Wikipedia"... ;)
