- I had success with booting linux-0.99 (in fact running it now).
-
- I had to do make clean; make config; make dep; make disk MORE THAN ONCE
- to get it to work. Michael Johnson said the problem is with FPU
- emulations. I "know" I answered yes every time I did a make config!!!
-
- BTW: The default in the configure script SHOULD BE y vice n for
- FPU emulation. My reasoning: if you have a 486 or 386/387 no harm is done.
- If you have a 386 without a 387 then the present default will not build
- a working system.
-
- Have a safe and happy holidays --- back-up your systems!!!
