I've look through that Document, and while it details the different utils
that need to be updated, it really doesn't give me the key info that I want.
A few of the questions I need answered:
1) In 2.2 -- Will memory larger than 64 MB be auto detected, or will I
still have to specify that in LILO ?
2) In 2.2 -- Will there be support for more than 255 active processes? (I
heard that the magic # was going to be 1024, but I'm not sure..)
3) In 2.2 -- Will SMB (Multi-processor) support be better than that which
exists in 2.0.x? (I know support exists in 2.0.x, but the documentation on
it is rather sketchy at best.)
I probably have others, but those are the ones I know off the top of my
head. :)
Cheers!
Jay
