Whether or not you use software emulation, the above device must be present. It is the kernel's link to either a math coprocessor or the software emulation. The software emulation option (which is a page or two above the npx0 device line in my 2.0.5R kernel config file) is the only thing that can be considered optional. And I noticed that in a previous post, someone with a PENTIUM had commented out the above line. I suggest that a comment line be placed above the 'device npx0' line to the effect of "DO NOT DELETE OR COMMENT OUT THIS LINE" // ------------------------------------- | |\ _,,,---,,_ // Roland Jay Roberts - Team OS/2 - | ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ // Internet: jay@map.com | |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' // FidoNet: Roland Roberts @ 1:321/305.5 | '---''(_/--' `-'\_)
