Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] about documentation

[C. P. <mef...@ho...>]

Hello:

it took me some time to rebuild the system and test it and now it supports 
i486sx.

I have a dilemma. There is no mention of this kind of problem anywhere but 
in this thread, so nobody cares. But the truth is that out of the box, DL 
doesnt support no math processor. If the documentation refers to "out of the 
box", it would say so.

its a big difference between downloading and running and downloading, 
BUILDING and running.

In another thread i will report the math_emulation=y experience, please 
refer to outcomming "report on i486sx with token ring and firewall builder"

regards

carlos
