Well, I just got it to come up from www.phatlinux.com, but it looks like
their uplink is having some problems. But if you don't need to see the
webpage, you can download a copy (180Mb .zip file) from a mirror:

ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/mini/Phat/PhatLinux32.zip

As I said earlier, it uncompresses out quite large (~700Mb) but it should
even run on straight DOS systems as well as '95. I don't know for sure but
I think it is compiler optimized for 586 instruction set, though in my
experience 586 code will run fine unmodified on 486s (I have a 586
optimized distro running on a 486 as a server with no problems whatsoever).
