I have done the above on my 2.1 system and have been running happily with phkmalloc for almost one year. phkmalloc evidences bugs in some programs (noticeably the version of "vi" in 2.1R when autoindent and word-wrap is enabled, and also gnuplot) but the X server seems to be quite stable (both S3 and SVGA) Luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________
