Sorry, but there's no glibc port for i386 without an FPU. I didn't even know that SiS made x86 clone CPUs - I've never even heard of linux running on such a beast, let alone without the 387 coprocessor. -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
