286 no.
386 yes.

freepuzzlearena (except for Hampsterdeath and Vitamins) runs
beautifully on a 4 MB 386 laptop.

Same here.  All I brought with me to run freepuzzlearena was
the freepuzzlearena package and cwsdpmi.exe

This may be true, on a 1 MB machine or a 4 MB machine where
Windows 3.x is running.

>What I have to install on computer without Windows, to run
>DJGPP programs on it ?

cwsdpmi.exe and emu387.dxe (the latter for 386 without 387)

>Where to get this files ?

simtel.net

CWSDPMI provides virtual memory if you have enough disk space.

WinDPMI provides virtual memory if you have enough disk space.
