Hi, Can it be that when you compile a FreeBSD kernel it hardcodes the memory size somewhere, I know it sounds absurd, but I had it on 16 Mb when I last compiled, and I've only been getting it since moving to 8Mb. You could be right, I just can't see why it would be doing it, it shouldn't happen. Interesting that you should mention the e**(i*pi)+1=0 part, I don't think many people know of it :) On Wed, Jan 05, 2000 at 06:06:39AM -0800, Cy Schubert - ITSD Open Systems Group wrote: > In message <20000105113157.A4140@littlecruncher.prizm.dhs.org>, Alwyn > Schoeman > writes: > > Hi, > > > > I'm using 3.4 on a 486DX2-66 with 8 Mb ram.
