1999-06-27 Thread Alan Schussman

Just a guess here maybe you need to recompile your kernel to enable SMP? I don't know. I've never used SMP, but my THINKING is that it should work just fine w/o recompiling, but that the second processor will not be used. One thing, after reading this list, I've heard that installing Mandrake
