Who ever heard of a newsreader that won't post unless you put more
new text in than old text??? That is why I have to write this.

I hope so.

        Er... You will probably (I'm sure) have to recompile the kernel
with math-emulation-on, or get it from an ftp-server. BTW, how did you
get such a kernel... I think all distibutions have kernels with compiled-in
math emulation since then they works on both x87 and no-x87 machines...

Try to get a standard boot disk to boot Linux and then install a
precompiled kernel which come from the Slackware.  Normally, the
precompiled kernels are OK.  remember to execute LILO to remap the image
of the new kernel.

But I suggested to reinstall the whole linux system from the slackware
which have a easy and automatic installation script.

Ok, what you need to do is prepare a boot disk which has math
emulation built in. :-)

I am not sure if there is a SlackWare boot disk which has this
included or not, but check out the site (or CDROM, whatever)
where you got SlackWare, and you will find a number of boot
disks.

If you are still having trouble after that, i.e. you cannot
find one to suit you, mail me and I will try and help out.

: please HELP me.

Cheers,
Matthew
