The most important change is that the Linuxulator now has most of the new syscalls needed to upgrade the linux_base port to RH 7.1. For those running on i386, you can can download the bits for your amusement. I'm going to work on the Alpha bits in the mean time. If you find anything majorly wrong in the i386 bits, let me know. Note that I introduced seperate types to express the Linux world in. This should provide with the "terra firma" in the fluid world of FreeBSD and Linux (you notice that locking yourself up has a strange effect on rhetorics :-) This causes some large diffs, but will only proof beneficial in the long run. Note also that what you download is almost too hot to handle. Use the necessary precaution when installing. Make sure you upgrade your source tree to get linux_uid16.c. i386 bits can be downloaded here: http://www.xcllnt.net/~marcel/linux-2.4.2.diff http://www.xcllnt.net/~marcel/linux_base-7.tar.gz I'll lock myself up again for the Alpha bits. Any and all feedback is welcome. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
