It is close. Just this dam netscape snag. My cpu is a Cyrix 6x86 Pr166,GP. I have 48Meg of memory. Everything seems to work fine except Netscape. I've tried packages for 4.08, 4.50, 4.51, and 4.73. They all core dump with the same error - "floating point exception". I have tried adding the kernel option for "CPU_BLUELIGHTNING_FPU_OP_CACHE" - it didn't help. I have tried using the "GPL_MATH_EMULATE" option - (leaving npx0 in the the config), - same error from netscape. Any Idea what my problem is? I've spent hours scanning the mailing lists for information to no avail. The desktops seem to work fine - I'm using KDE. Are there some tests that I can run to find out what FreeBSD thinks my processor is? It recognizes it on POST at a Cyrix 5x86. PLEASE HELP!
