It can be changed by configuring and recompiling kernel. I checked the kernel-image-2.4.27-arm package from Debian/testing and indeed it uses FastFPE emulation. To be specific, the 'bast' and 'netwinder' targets do. The 'lart', 'riscpc' and 'riscstation' targets use NWFPE. I guess 'lart' and 'bast' are some devel boards and 'netwinder' is the main target. Looking at handhelds.org kernels they mostly use NWFPE although there are couple of configs with FastFPE. I have no clue on other Linux distros or *BSD's on ARM. It seems PostgreSQL may encounter both NWFPE and FastFPE on Linux/ARM. How to handle this I do not know. -- marko ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
