Ok. We do not have any i386 system right now, except a laptop. I don't
consider running bb on that one :-)...
If the least line quits until beginning of july I possibly could bring up
my personal system, but without monitor and harddisk (has a scsi
controler, though). It's a dual celeron with 224MB RAM.
Here again we stumble across the problem of monitors. The LinuxTag eV
_cant_ provide monitors. Perhaps I can take one with me, but that's it.
Please recheck whether you can bring up a screen. Please mail me private,
whether you live in/near stuttgart and can offer a monitor. I see this as
a real problem right now.

I mixed you and Roland Bauerschmidt up. Sorry.

Yes.

You're right. Same as clanbomber...

That sounds good. Bring it with you and mail me some more data, so I
don't forget it.
