Or better yet, use a 64-bit kernel. It may be a little odd, but I have a 64-bit x86 that I'm running 32-bit kernel. Mostly because I had some odd problems with various programs I was using. But was what more odd was the fact that I had a little less memory (~100mb) with a 64-bit kernel than with a 32-bit PAE kernel. -- Lab tests show that use of micro$oft causes cancer in lab animals Got Gas??? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
