Something is very wrong with my system then. Here are a selection of lines captured from a potato installation: LILO Loading Linux.................... Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. Linux version 2.2.17 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.2 20000313 (Debian GNU/Linux)) #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000 Detected 132956 kHz processor.
