Dear friends:
A simple question:
In an earlier installation, I let Linux autodetect SMP and set up
entries for both the regular kernel and the kernel-smp in my
/etc/lilo.conf.
This time, I choose to say "No" during Install. I assumed that SMP is
for dual or multimple processors and that therefore my single machine
(AMD K6-2 400 Mhrtz) would not quality for SMP.
However, when I updated my kernel by clicking in MandrakeUpdate on
"initscripts", Update automatically selected all 8 kernel files,
including kernel-smp. So, kernel-smp is in fact installed on my system
as you can see below:
[sher@adsl-77-232-173 sher]$ rpm -q kernel-smp
kernel-smp-2.2.13-22mdk
[sher@adsl-77-232-173 sher]$
Just curious: what does this in fact mean? Is my computer using SMP?
Does it need it? Is SMP in fact installed and running on it?
Thanks so much.
Benjamin
