I've finally got plan9 installed on my laptop. (compaq aero) The problem now is that my machine has no fpu. I understand plan9 "requires" one but can anyone tell me just how much trouble I am likely to have without it. I haven't done much of anything yet and the only problem I've seen thus far is a funky looking clock. My feeling is that I should really just give up on trying to get this particular machine to enjoy running plan9. thanks, Reed Wade --------- University of Tennessee, Knoxville Dept of Computer Science Netlib Development Group 'Dust--is round off error.' says geek wade@cs.utk.edu --
