: I don't know if MCC has adopted the FSSTND yet; I hope so.
Leblanc, purveyor of MCC, says he's made MCC 1.0+ compliant with FSSTND;
but like all standards, interpretation is a problem. One of the 'S's in
SCSI stands for "Standard", and of course we have standard Unix, or
is that Unix standards :-).
: If it has, then it
: *is* simply a stripped system; however, it has networking. What's missing are
: things like X, mail, news, etc. It's intended as a stripped workstation with
: local compilation environment; mail, news, etc. are accessed via telnet/rlogin
: to a server; presumably, this corresponds to the way the Manchester Computing
: Centre does things.
Obviously, you haven't read LeBlanc's documentation, he explains the purpose
for which MCC-interim is intended (Learning/Teaching tool). Also, MCC 1.0+
has "mail" and there are "contributed" packages (add-in) avialable. Check
it out; read the best documentation you'll find.
Cheers, or is that beers.
