Hello

I just recompiled the kernel for 2.0.5 to match my ASUS-SP3G dx2/66
system without any problems.  The kernel is now 724K.

I selected "options GPL_MATH_EMULATE" for use with ghostscript.  My question
is will all floating point math be emulated?  Will the 486's FPU be used now?
I used the option "cpu	I486_CPU" also.

Should I recompile everything for a I486?  Will it make a difference?

What does this do for xwindows?
