Thanks for your explanation. Is there some way to turn the cache (temporarily) off? > On my HP300 (with a '040) it manages to start X about once every ten > times. > Plus it's a pain to compile X. May I help with this issue? I used to be an amiga coder, I also know basics about linux programming on x86, so maybe I can give it a look... The best thing would be a VM inside a fast linux box, or even a cross-compiler on the x86. I guess if I can make a null-modem network beetween the Amiga and the PC. It should be possible, since I did it under Windows and Amiga OS. Regards, Emiliano
