Hi,

I am running the linux 2.2.16 kernel (slackware distr. 7.1).
Now I would like to program using SSE instructions.
The kernel does not support this.
I've found patches for this issue for kernels 2.2.5 and 2.2.12 (for redhat
6.x).
I tried (knowing better...) to compile my kernel with this patches but it
does not work (of course).

Does anybody know how to get this running with kernel 2.2.16??
Support for the Pentium III features is a very legal question (W98 + NT 4
SP4 already have it....uhhh)

Thanks in advance,

With kind regards,

Lodewijk
