So that sounds like a good way to break (cook) it: hack the halt out of a kernel and watch it fail faster. Or maybe the failure is coming out of halt... Sounds like my forthcoming upgrade will not be an AMD K6. Am waffling between Cyrix 6x86MX, Pentium (maybe MSX), and Pentium Pro 150 or 180. Any recommendations for a FreeBSD-only system? If I go socket 7 then Tyan Tomcat IV will most likely be my MB. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
