Generally time will sort this problem out, as the rest of the set is released. It is usually possible to upgrade some packages which do not include the problem ones.

The RISC ARM doesn't do the CISC/microprogram thing, so a single processor would spend the same amount of time carrying out the calculations whether they were a formal FP instruction set or not, and the whole point of the ARM is that it is smaller and simpler than a CISC processor. -- Joe

anything from 2.8V to 5V) and ends up at logic level somewhere else, so there is little point in converting to and from RS-232. But things like radio modules often run on 3.3V or lower, so it may be necessary to convert to and from RS-422 levels. Many modern 'RS-232' devices, particularly the really cheap USB-serial modules, in fact use 3.3V/0V or 5V/0V logic levels, as the term 'RS-232' has just come to mean 'low-speed serial' to many people. -- Joe

which basically shows that Apache is running, and gives a few details about configuration. If you can see this page, or whatever you may have replaced it with, then Apache is running, which is half the problem solved. Always check this first if you have problems (I leave this page in place, despite the encouragement to replace it) as Apache is quite fussy, and will refuse to run under some conditions. If it's not running, check /var/log/apache2/error.log for the reason. -- Joe
