Date: 16 Mar 1995 19:58:57 GMT Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation Lines: 36 Message-ID: <3ka5a1$ght@nntpd.lkg.dec.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: oils.ozy.dec.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2(HT3)] I have found (and reported here) a bug in disklable which prevents writing new boot sectors to the hard disk. However, I had no responses. This might seem like a dumb question but what do I do now: a) fix it myself and publish here b) post a fix to who ? c) ?? as a fix to the "guts" of the disklabel utility is a potentially dangerous one I would like some confirmation discussion before proceeding. Im sure this info is on the CD somewhere but Ive lent it to soemone for a while and cant get access to it. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Dr Jon Jenkins Location: Digital Equipment Corp, NaC, Burnett Place, Research Park, Bond University, Gold Coast QLD, AUSTRALIA 4229 Phone: 61-75-75-0151 Fax: 61-75-75-0100 Internet: jenkinsj@ozy.dec.com Close Proximity: "HEY YOU !!!"
