That's weird.. the 386DX does NOT have a math coprocessor. That would be the 486DX. My first Linux experience was on an 8MB 386DX-40 in Sept 1995 (pretty late, I know). I remember being quite amazed with OLVWM :) It was much faster than the EE department's 40MHz MicroSparc-II boxes. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
