May be - but how up to date are those pages? September 2008 and Jan 2009 - the information isn't valid for 10.04 as there is no menu.lst.... The realtime wiki one says "You do this by adding a kernel boot parameter to GRUB: "isolcpus=1" Really helpful that one - where??? The custom kernel says edit menu.lst - doesn't exist any more Who's the dummy now? :) Steve Blackmore -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and publish websites with WebMatrix Use the most popular FREE web apps or write code yourself; WebMatrix provides all the features you need to develop and publish your website. http://p.sf.net/sfu/ms-webmatrix-sf _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
