If we drop this then we can drop 386 and 486 support as well. -- MfG / Regards Friedrich Lobenstock ____________________________________________________________________ Friedrich Lobenstock FL226-RIPE Internetservices URL: http://www.fl.priv.at/ Email: fl...@fl... ____________________________________________________________________ |

So I thought why no disable it at all? But you're probably right, we loose users and actually it doesn't really hurt to have to support for it. -- cu Heiko We are Penguin, Resistance is futile! http://www.devil-linux.org |

(and 386/486) also. i don't use them, and don't think a lot of people needs them. and yes, it hurts... why? because more code equals to more potential bugs... just my 2 cents of euro :) -- -- Use of a keyboard or mouse may be linked to serious injuries or disorders.

We had a while ago a vote if we should switch to i486, but we would have lost 30% of our users. -- cu Heiko We are Penguin, Resistance is futile! http://www.devil-linux.org |
