Hi - not sure if this is a hardware problem but anyway...

I recently installed Linux 2.0.0 without much hassle.  However now when I 
do certain commands (Top for instance) it comes up with Floating Point 
Exception and then quits the program being run.  I have a Pentium 133 so 
I decided to remove Kernel Math Emulation - Should I leave it in?

Also when I tried patching the 2.0.0 base code up to 2.0.4 it wouldn't 
compile due to:
No rule to make target sb_audio.o needed by sound.a 
I noticed that when I used the 2.0.4 patch quite a few of the patches 
failed.  Has anybody else had this?  (BTW I've installed the sb204 patch 
as well but to no avail)....

Please reply by email if possible...

Cheers.
