I would be happy to run an ELF kernel in my now (mostly) non-ELF environment. Did you use the "fast call" conventions on the ELF kernel system calls? This would imply a libc rebuild, right? (Some of us are pro-ELF for reasons other than toying with it 8-)). Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
