So what? My former machine ran fine with Win95/WinNT. Linux wouldn't even end booting the kernel. Reason: P/100 was running at 120Mhz. Fixed that, no trouble for years. Not the only case of WinXX running (apparently?) fine on broken/misconfigured hardware I've seen, mind you. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand mailto:vonbrand@inf.utfsm.cl Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
