Organization: Elektronni Visti Date: Thu, 07 Jul 1994 02:25:44 GMT Message-ID: <1994Jul07.022544.4435@Elvisti.Kiev.UA> X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] References: <2vbv2j$e0k@urmel.informatik.rwth-aachen.de> <2vc2ob$h0p@panix3.panix.com> Lines: 41 Hi, First of all -- 1.1.5 GENERIC kernel works on the damn Intel box (do you remember a posting about keyboard hangups a while ago?) WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM! It seems I can dance on the keyboard and it will still work, and will not mention this. It's COOL!!! Then: I hadn't a time to make any measurement, but the disk IO seems to be _MUCH_ better buffered, and considerably faster in comparison with 1.0.2 and 1.1-R. New FreeBSD is a wonder! But I've got exactly the same trouble... : The 'config' command in 1.1 won't work with the kernel sources from 1.1.5(.1). : You need to get the 1.1.5(.1) 'config.' Apparently, it now generates a file : called config.c, which you need to link the kernel correctly. The simplest : way to get it would be to snarf the sources for it out of the : FreeBSD-current tree and compile it, then use it to config your new kernel. From the other viewpoint, J. Hubbard wrote that all utility stuff was improved, too; and maybe the libraries were changed, too; and maybe there are some other nice things inside... So, I'm stucked. I had bindist tarballs from 1.1-RELEASE. I got the 1.1.5 floppies + kernel sources. Now I can't make a decision! Will it be faster and simplier to get the whole 1.1.5 bindist tarballs, and stop claiming and be happy? :-) Or maybe it will be enough to get a new 'config', then customize a new 1.1.5 kernel, and be happy with old utilities, too? Maybe someone knowlegeable can give a suggestion? Regards, and thanks to all FreeBSD team! Andrew Stesin : : -- : : | _ : Markolf Gudjons, Lehrstuhl fuer Betriebssysteme DoD #784
