Then it shouldn't be called a "requirement" or be labeled as a "minimum". Saying minimum and requirement says to me that the thing won't work without it. That is what "reccommended" tells me; it should be the difference between won't work and works comfortably. This is all mental gum-flapping anyway. The processor is an Athlon 900, so it is not a minimum spec processor. I have a development system and a production system. The one I tested 8.0 on was from a bunch of parts sitting in the corner. It was intended to be little more than providing a serial console on which the development machine could log messages. It doesn't even have a keyboard or monitor attached in normal use. Mostly I'll be telnetting in. Since I've never had to do it, I need to find the HOWTOs in order to figure out how to do the serial console and export my X session to another machine on the same network. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
