I have a 486DX2/66 with 20M RAM and lots of disk space and on that machine everything seems ok. But my other machine is a 386DX25 with 4M RAM and it is booting diskless from the first one. It does have 25M local swap. They are both running the last ctm-cvs before freefall was upgraded. The diskless machine gets sig 11s when it boots. The first time almost all daemons (inetd, cron, syslogd, ...) and rm, kvm_mkdb and dev_mkdb gave a sig 11. I then logged in and rebooted and only rm and date did a core dump. I can then work and everything seems ok. (I haven't pushed it very hard, I only use it to test a device driver) Seems strange. :- -- John Hay -- jhay@mikom.csir.co.za
