I've just uploaded a new version of the BL3 kernel
optimized for early Pentiums (pre-MMX).  If you are
running BL3 on an early Pentium, this version of the 
kernel should give you a small boost in performance.
Simply replace the old zimage in C:/baslin with the 
new zimage.  Or, if you are booting BL3 with lilo, 
replace the old zimage in /boot and re-run lilo.

This new kernel (zimage.p1) should only be used with 
early Pentiums.  If you have a 486dx, you should use 
zimage.4dx.  With other CPUs stick with the default 
kernel.

I don't have an early Pentium myself, so I haven't 
been able to test zimage.p1.  There's no guarantee 
it actually works.  I would be grateful if one of 
you guys with an early Pentium would try it and 
report back here.  

BTW, I've recently been getting very fast response 
times and downloads from the basiclinux.com.ru site.  
It might just be a time-of-day thing, but for me it 
is significantly faster than ibiblio.org.
