I have installed the SUSE Linux on a brand new AMD K5 machine with 8MB of RAM, and things (lots of different things) keep dying with a divide by zero error:

I noticed one other message (from Danny ter Haar) about this about a month ago in dejanews, but there were no answers. Too bad!

If anyone has anyother ideas, or even better, patches, let me know.

Mike

I will try adding more memory (though it won't be EDO)
