Re: New kernel for testing

The main reason, I guess is that I only have three linux machines at home.  One 
Sparc 2 running SuSE 7.3 that I'm playing around with as a MySQL slave, one 
Dual Pentium 133MHz Running SuSE 8.0 that is my web/mail/database etc server, 
and the Sparc 20.  It originally had only one processor, so it was suitable as 
the firewall being the least powerful machine that could boot/compile a 2.4.x 
kernel and run iptables.

Then I bought another CPU for it for $15, and here I am.  Unable to 
compile/boot a smp-kernel, and just looking for some insight into the matter.

Doesn't really matter what I use it for, just want to get it working.  :)
