That was supposed to be offlist, but never mind :) ipaq may be i386, but it is still a POS, hence the slugs name.... It really shouldn't IMHO be used as anything other than a fileserver.

Actually I began before CPM to be clinically acurate However the Ipaq is still a i386 architecture (or was it a 286?) cheers Chris T = = = Original message = = = I forgot to mention......... The machine i am running came at the right price. It was rescued from being recycled, and with minor shame i will admit that it is an Ipaq by Compaq. If you can remember when they came out you can wave your walking stick about, complain about the youth of today, and apply for a pension shortly. :) The fact that it runs at all with the full GUI of a system built for modern machines with some grunt is miraculous, so the fact that bleeding edge PClinuxOS tends to make it fall over is not that shocking really. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Saturday 20 October 2007 13:44, you wrote: Hi, I am replying off list. Could I ask please, what you meant by "unstable"? I am seeking knowledge here, as "unstable can mean different things to different people? regards Chris T = = = Original message = = = I found PCLinuxOS swish, all the bells and whistles were there BUT as it was unstable on my POS, i went back to Debian - Etch.
