I think you'd be hard pressed to find Acorn users who have (Powertech Cards) && (i386 machines) && (want to mount the disks onto their i386 machine) && ((are incapable of building a custom kernel) || (somehow need to boot their i386 machine from their Powertech cards before they are able to build a custom kernel)) > So, as a "workaround", would any such people be heartbroken if this > config option were dropped from the prebuilt i386 kernel images?

I don't have a Powertech card (and my x86 box is running FreeBSD) so it doesn't matter to me. Nicholas Clark -- EMCFT http://www.ccl4.org/~nick/CV.html
