You need a math coprocessor to get it running, and it's not optimized for speed. I suspect you won't actually be happy if you're running on a 386. I have run it on a Pentium 133, and it was usable, though. The Hurd buildd runs on Pentium III, and is quite happy about it. > Also, what are some areas to look at in HURD so that even I can > contribute in this area. There's a task list in the source code that has things listed there. For a better suggestion than that, it would help to know what you worked on in the Linux Kernel. -- One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures. -- George W.
