The processor is an Intel Core2 Duo running at 2.80GHz. Flags are "fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl aperfmperf eagerfpu pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm sse4_1 xsave lahf_lm dtherm" -- if that means anything to you. It doesn't to me, I must admit. I've always found hardware a closed book. Unfortunately I made an unholy mess of that partition and had to clear it completely. Now I'm wondering whether to start again immediately or wait for the official release. -- H Russman -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
