It is a rather naive assumption that just because some socio-technical process works well there no need for using the law to protect it. Just yesterday M$ paid up $775+75 million for illegal monopolistic behaviour. Everybody knows that monopolies are bad and eventually fail. But in the intervening period the law breaker is a pain in the ass for everybody else. The law ensures that everbody else gets a chance to be a pain in their ass. Infact inspite of the gpl u have companies like google who do not contribute back derived gpld code. GPL v 3 will ensure that using forked closed gpld code to deliver services will be very difficult. rgds jtd

Check the bios setup. Insert maximum wait states to slow down ram access. Replace the ram if you can find some of those ancient pieces. Or try a floppy distro. since these use very little ram it might just work. rgds jtd

Hi all, any idea what a message like this means, this is just when the kernel is loaded from floppy, uncompresses and the below message comes repeated in screenfull. Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 the machine is a 486 with 40MB ram, 4.3GB HDD. (dos/windows too are unable to start up apart from the initial messages.) just curious typically which part of hardware could have gone wrong?
