- Well, I now have 0.1 running on:
- 486/33DX Opti Chipset
- 4MB RAM
- 300MB Micropolis 1558-14 Hard Disk
- ...etc...
-
- and am trying to recompile the kernel. I did a make depend with
- GENERICISA as my configuration file. I am (and have...) attempting
- to compile the kernel so I can get the hang of it. I noticed
- the compilation taking an excessive amount of disk activity (math_emulate.c)
- and tried to Suspend the process so I could take a look at the process
- table to see what was eating my disk.
-
- Well, even after the job was suspeneded, the disk was still going crazy!
- I waited for some disk activity and hit the reset button, and brought
- it back up.
-
- Its restarted now, and the level of disk activity seems to be "normal,"
- but I can't wait for it to screw up again. Does anyone have any clue
- as to why this is happening to me?
-
- On the bright side, Everything else seems normal. I ftp'd a2ps, an
- ascii-to-postscript conversion utility, compiled it, set up my printcap,
- and I now have the local print server ready for use for printing the
- docs that come with the software. Hey, what more can you ask for?
-
- thanks in advance for the help!
