I've some problem when I using 386bsd, so I hope I can get an expertise advice here. My configration is: 386DX-25 mother board with 8M RAM 287 math coprocessor run in async-mode with 386 trident 8900b VGA card with 1M RAM Master hard-disk -- Western Digital 255M Slave hard-disk -- Western Digital 81M I can install 386bsd 0.1 bin distribution and XFree86 1.2 in my machine. But I always get error message "Floating point exception" or even a core dump when I run programs like "ps ux" , "xman" and "editres". Could any one be kind enough to tell me whats happen? I think it may be the problem of my 287, how can I get ride of this? Thank You in Advance!!! Gavin Ho
