Thank you. I was hoping to | clear those issues up. Let me know of any other problems. Enjoy. Is this safe to try on SMP again? The one-previous 2.4.12-ac3 patch seems stable on a P5-100+48MB RAM, which I use as a test for things helping dog-slow systems, did not run well on a BP6 (crashed on first login). I didn't report it because I try to have some useful info to report and had no time. Also, has this been tested with experimental kernel pcmcia or the real pcmcia package? The BP6 is my only non-laptop pcmcia. -- bill davidsen His first management concern is not solving the problem, but covering his ass. If he lived in the middle ages he'd wear his codpiece backward.
