Home made, started life as a 486 25Mhz 2Mb; and some parts are still original Bought a second hand mother board from a game player who wanted a faster machine; mother board runs at 66Mhz with K6 clocked at 230 Mhz. Two 4Gb disks. But the big thing is. Two slabs of SDRAM giving me 192Mb memory. They were going cheap when memory prices crashed about 18 months ago. With this set up I can build the Hurd in about 2 hours. The only thing that will crash it, is a big build of Java from libgcj. I may post a note about this on April 1, is this a joke day in other parts of the world? This would be a good job list, step 2 would be to download, build and install the latest gcc, and the final stage, when it builds the Java, requires a reboot before it starts Chris > > Thanks, > Marcus > > -- > `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
