It may clean up some of your problems, including the gcc2.3.3 : ones. : Nate I am having problems similar to what David Fox was getting. I am using the npx-0.3 patches found an ref.tfs.com. I had to comment out the fp_divide_by_0() test to get the system to boot. It reported a broken IRQ13. Allso the system would hang badly with the fpetest, ps aux, and so on... Any ideas ? BTW please don't laugh, but I am using an Intel 80287. Thanks for any help. -- Andre B.
