Peter, I get 2 different answers for sqrt(200). with the fastfpe giving a different answer from lets say i386 while the nwfte give the exact answer that i386 does.
I am away from the system now, so I can't reboot it into 2.4.27, I will do it tomorrow and report back to the list Jim ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Peter Teichmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: debian-arm@lists.debian.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu, 6 Jan 2005 20:11:21 +0100 Subject: Re: netwinder floating point > Am Donnerstag, 6.
