I have the patched 1.0.3 kernel and XFree86 mono working. However, I just
realized that floating point ops no longer work while trying to get
ghostscript to work.  Hmmm ... is it because the kernel supplied with
the X distribution is for a machine with a 387 installed ? If so, does 
anyone have one without that ? Or am I just confused ? I have a plain 386SX-25
without a 387 installed.  I would like to be able to have both X and floating
point ops ;^) Any pointers would be appreciated.
Arthur!!
