hi all, I am attempting to install centos 4.4 on an ebox 2300sx. I start with "i586 text" everything starts up and then I get: No coprocessor found and no math emulation present. How do I get math emulation? THanks Jerry

Huh, cute machine. Too bad about the copro though. -- Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <ivazqueznet at gmail.com> PLEASE don't CC me; I'm already subscribed -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I am not stuck on using 4CentOS 3 has only i586 and i686 kernels, those both rely on hardware FP no, I think you'll need to build your own kernel RPMs for that one, or use a different sort of distro entirely. You'll need a i386 kernel, as that was the last CPU which had external/optional FP.
