Longinus · 12-08-2003, 09:53 PM

oh yeah i have another question

about my kernel

when i boot up it gives me the option to get to

DOS
2.4.20-8
2.4.20-8 smp

now on the linux ntfs thingy it says that smp is for systems with 2 cpu's
but i know that i only have 1

thanks all for helping me out thus far

OK, NOW THIS IS JUST A GUESS....(emphasis via caps, sorry) but do you have a P4 with hyperthreading turned on?

Longinus · 12-08-2003, 10:46 PM

lol well you got half of it right

i have a p4 2.4 ghz 800 fsb,

but my MoBo -Asus P4C800- does have support for HT

Longinus · 12-08-2003, 10:47 PM

yeah so my p4 isnt HT but my mobo can support it so it might be in my bios settings

ezra143 · 12-08-2003, 10:51 PM

well, next time you shut it down, take a look and see if it could possibly be enabled. I have no idea if that would cause RH to compile for HT, but who knows.

Maybe someone else here (read: Tinkster!) will see this thread up on top and lend a hand here, cause if this isnt the case, I may be in over my head very quickly and dont want to give bad advice.

Longinus · 12-08-2003, 11:00 PM

ah lol well thanks ezra 143 for your support

by the way hows slackware?

im thinking of getting it because people on the forums have been talking about it

ezra143 · 12-08-2003, 11:06 PM

it is a good way to realy begin to cut your teeth on linux. It is not that hard to manage, but it is not as simple as many of the other distros. IMHO, if you want total control over your box without alot of added extras your dont want installed, its definately one of the ways to go. Definately manageable.

Longinus · 12-08-2003, 11:21 PM

ah cool

well i am a total newbie with linux
but when im on windows i feel like im king

so i was wondering if you knew any good sites or books , any kinda reference

that could help me out just to get me more comfortable with linux

because right now im kinda overwhelmed with just all the different names and terms

and this 'compile' jiberish

so if you have any tips
that would be awesome

Longinus · 12-08-2003, 11:25 PM

whoa lol
this thread is kinda getting off topic of the title

well i think i should just start another thread or something after this so thanks all for helping me out
-espcially ezra143
