Would someone in-the-know mind posting such a list? List will go out with announcement shortly (gee, you guys are quick to notice). >If you have a 1.44meg floppy instead of a 1.2, go ahead and blast the Tiny >image onto it, it works fine. Just one kind of distribution this time. No more 3.5 and 5.25 inch versions. >Don't forget to copy the 'extract' program out of /tmp before going multi-user >or you'll end up having to retrieve it from the <something>.cpio file on the >Tiny diskette. I, uh, didn't do this myself of course... /etc/baseutils.cpio.Z . It does this on purpose, so that people don't inadvertently re -extract by accident. Likewise install. >I originally had problems with an WD8003E that worked fine under 0.0. I think >the 8003E may have problems using IRQ2 (unfortunately the default); still >looking into it. The error message was something like 'reject 65535' and >was repeated frequently after the device was ifconfig'd. A bug on the list. Quick fix is to comment out the ISOLAN (is) entry in ioconf.c. It's a configuration conflict. >Interestingly, 'ps aux' resulted in several errors including a 'floating point >exception.' 'ps' still doesn't look for "command strings" properly, judging by >the output. Yes. symbols.raw needs new entries, and we've got an involved bug in kvm.c >Installation was incredibly smooth. Kudos to whomever was involved in writing >the 'install' program. Installation and extraction are practically effortless. Lynne did the installation mechanism, based on the (loud) suggestions of a number of people who insisted on *not* wanting to write new disktab entries. Bill.
