Date: Sun, 20 Apr 1997 14:24:13 +0100 From: James Mansion <james@wgold.demon.co.uk> I disagree. Clearly the sources are there, but they are not normally compiled in. It is not the case that a uniprocessor is simply a particular case of an SMP configuration - the code is quite different, and the default build (and versions provided from eg Red Hat) do not have the code enabled. At least on Sparc, there are SMP kernel rpm's for redhat-4.1, if during the install phase an SMP system is detected, the SMP kernel rpm's are installed instead of the UP ones. ---------------------------------------------//// Yow! 11.26 MB/s remote host TCP bandwidth & //// 199 usec remote TCP latency over 100Mb/s //// ethernet.
