I do know that.

With swap?

So at least the regular userspace seems to be as stable as expected.

*itchinghead* Well, AmigaOS is running fine on the box... Maybe I'd give
it a hard kick to rattle off the rust:) I'll see if I can get more RAM,
but the box is really doing harm to me. I know that the person who owned
it (before it came to me) ran Linux on that machine, up to the last
minute. I was there when the box was switched off and the HDD was
screwed out of it. So at least, it *was* good at some time...
If I get a (minimal) kernel I'll try to do the installation by hand
(first off creating a NFS-root and so on). I'm not really new to that,
I've done it several times (not for m68k, though...).
At some time, the box will work for me, it has to:)
MfG, JBG
