Hello all,
I got three questions:
1.
Wouldn't it be possible that some of the maintainers of the kernel could
send this mailinglist a message when a new kernel comes out so we don't
have to look everytime and thereby decreasing some of the internet load of
the routers and servers. Because internet is getting slower and slower
lately and that's something we atleast could do for the poor people who are
affected by this extremely annoying slowingdown.
2.
In the elkscmd package I found a combined root/boot floppy, how is it made
because I would like to build my own kernel and maybe even try booting from
the harddisk and I don't think Mr. / Mrs. / Ms. / Mz. Bootloader (I don't
know his/hers/it's name so I call him/her that) would me to
enlarge/decrease the size of the kernel without him/her/it knowing it. I
had some bad experiences with LILO and wouldn't want it to happen to my
extremely high speed, high cost 286 16 MHz with a HUGE 40 mb harddisk and
640 KB mem ("640 KB is more then anyone could ever need").
3.
My harddisk is recognized as /dev/bda, but I can also access him(her) as
/dev/hda, what's the difference and why can't I fdisk my harddisk with
/dev/hda, when I try to write the partition he starts babbles about that he
can't seek to 0 or something like that?
These are my question's. Now answer them! :)
