The lpt.c driver does not appear to be compiled into the kernel. How do i configure this driver into the kernel? And what are the major and minor number for the device? 2) I have a 486 machine which ofcourse has the onboard FPU. I happened to be watching the machine compiling the kernel, and knowticed that the math emulator was beeing compiled into the kernel. Is this preventable? And if so, how do I do that? 3) How do I find out if the system is using a swap partition? I did disklabel the drive with a new swap (wd0b) with a reasonable size, but how do i know it is beeing used? 4) I got the code to mount dos filesystems. How do I mount the dos partition on my H-Drive? My appologies if any of this can be found in FAQ, I have Aug version of it. Thanks... -- -Einar-
