(like amd=, cyrix=, intel= or just cpu=) That would allow one kernel and simple lilo config for example 'safe' and 'fast' settings.

Good place to get things messed up at startup and make more difficult to fix. -jl - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu | ||||||||||||
