Same goes for V9.40.UC2 I never had any prolems using SuSE & IFX, apart from the well documented upgrade of the glibc in SuSE 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and the funny memory size defaults of 3GB in the Kernels used by SuSE. But then they allow to set /proc/$PID/mapped_base .... so you have your shared memory limited much like on a Sun (3.75 GB), but at approx 15% of the dollars ;) dic_k -- Richard Kofler SOLID STATE EDV Dienstleistungen GmbH Vienna/Austria/Europe
