[OT] The Neverending Story: Part Three (Re: [plug] reinstall for new core hardware?)

[John Knight]

I'm sure most people would consider this on-topic, considering some of the 
weird stuff that gets thrown about here. :) Unforunately it sounds like the 
changeover from P2 to P3, can you run it with just one P3 and see what 
happens? If the P2s are gone, then it's worth trying ANYTHING. Otherwise, go 
back to the quokka and get a P2 or a celeron. :(



Make lunch, not war.
