Any way of leaving *either* NFP #defined as 0 *or* simply not putting the emulator in the kernel ? I don't quite see why those lucky enough to own a '387 (or a '486, for that matter) should carry the emulator around. In a similar vein - is it possible to exclude HD support and the pagers ? I'm thinking of making a really *small* kernel for floppy-only support (don't ask - I just want to play :) Thanks Bernard -- Bernard Steiner, FB Informatik/IRB, Uni Dortmund, vox +49 231 755 2444 Postfach 500500, D-W-4600 Dortmund 50, Germany fax +49 231 755 2386 bs@Germany.EU.net ...!uunet!unido!bs *III And they gave it Instructions, but knew it not. } From The Book of Nome, *IV It is, they said, a Box with a Funny Voice. } Mezzanine v.III-IV
