It's been recommended by Jordan to do a make upgrade in single user mode compared to doing a make aout-to-elf-whatever, as explained by the tutorial. This is if you're doing a build of 3.1 since the tut was made for 3.0. It's very good and points to a few other important pages (like upgrading /etc and /dev) so I'd recommend you either place a link on your site, or ask the author if you can use it within your site. Since I've used your site often for insight, and I'm sure many others do, it would be beneficial to many :) Also, on another note, another problem I found (my main reason for upgrading to 3.0/3.1) is that 2.2.7 doens't support USB. This caused a major problem since I'm using a Dell Dimension XPS R and the mb is ATX with USB and PS/2 (comes with a PS/2 mouse). 2.2.7 doesn't detect the PS/2 port properly because of USB, and 3.0/3.1 solves the problem. Hope this is usefull! And hope your make aout-to-elf-build won't break anything :) Manu Dan Langille wrote: > > On 22 Feb 99, at 12:12, Emmanuel Gravel wrote: > > > It's easier than that.
