=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
We are pleased to announce the next public release of our
new executable packer UPX. The Ultimate Packer for eXecutables
is a portable, extensible, high-performance executable packer for
several different executable formats. It achieves an excellent
compression ratio and offers very fast decompression.
UPX can pack (and unpack) the following executable formats:
dos/exe, dos/sys, dos/com, djgpp2/coff, watcom/le,
win32/pe, rtm32/pe, tmt/adam, atari/tos and linux/i386
You can find UPX at:
http://wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at/mfx/upx.html
http://cdata.tvnet.hu/~ml/upx.html
This is the first version which includes support for compressed
Linux executables. UPX transparently compresses your ELF, AOUT,
Shell/Perl/Python/... scripts, Java bytecode, etc.
How it works:
Because Linux is a real operating system, the in-place in-memory
decompression scheme used in the other executable formats doesn't
work here.
Instead we must use temporary decompression to disk. Interestingly -
because of the good memory management of the Linux kernel - this
often does not introduce a noticable delay, and in fact there
will be no disk access at all if you have enough free memory as
the entire process takes places within the filesystem buffers.
A compressed executable consists of the UPX stub and an overlay
which contains the original program in a compressed form.
The UPX stub is a statically linked ELF executable and does
the following at program startup:
1) decompress the overlay to a temporary location in /tmp
2) fork a process that will sleep for a short time and then
delete the temporary file
3) in the meantime start (execve) the uncompressed program in /tmp
The UPX stub is about 1700 bytes long, mostly written in assembler
and only uses kernel syscalls. It is not linked against any libc.
Spread and enjoy,
Markus & Laszlo

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
On March 26:th, I submitted the updated etftp client/daemon for
Linux-2.x/ix86 and Linux-2.x/SPARC and Solaris-2.x/SPARC to
sunsite. It's now available at
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/file-transfer
ftp://ftp.foa.se/pub/Projects/FOA7/FOA72/Network/ETFTP
and I also submitted Red Hat source and binary packages, available at
ftp://contrib.redhat.com/libc6/SRPMS
ftp://contrib.redhat.com/libc6/i386
ftp://contrib.redhat.com/libc6/sparc
So what is etftp?
Name : etftp Distribution: (none)
Version : 1.1.3 Vendor: (none)
Release : 1 Build Date: fre 26 mar 1999 12.53.22
Install date: tis 6 apr 1999 08.27.17 Build Host: arnljot.lin.foa.se

Summary : The Enhanced Trivial File Transfer Protocol, RFC 1986, client/server.
Description :
ETFTP - Enhanced Trivial File Transfer Protocol. Adaptive transmission
protocol for radio based data transmission.
The idea of ETFTP as a project originated from RFC 1986 in which an
experimental protocol for tactical radio is specified. On account of
the increasing interest in data transmission over tactical radio, the
code was finally donated to the National Defence Research
Establishment, Dept. of Communication Systems, FOA 72, on condition
that it was released under the terms of the GNU GPL.
Please drop us an e-mail if you do use ``our'' etftp in any research
and/or development...
The code is an extension of W. Richard Stevens implementation of TFTP.
For further reading, study his book "UNIX Network Programming" (ISBN
0-13-949876-1). See also RFC 998 (NETBLT) and RFC 1350 (TFTP) for more
background and ideas...
For RFC 1986, see, e.g., ftp://nis.nsf.net/documents/rfc/rfc1986.txt.

## l uses
Some thoughts on what cLIeNUX' current niche(s) might be
For those who want things as simple as possible
As a base install for those who don't trust the big distro's security, or
who want a very tight install or starting point
As a back-install for boot partition redundancy, for testing,
experimenting, maintenance of the main install, and emergencies.
As a host Linux for a commercial game, DMBS or other app
As a unix tutorial. In fact there's enough docs on the Root floppy for
the basics.
As a non-graphics development environment
Something you can to add to that doesn't involve coding.
As a core install for those who don't like any of the big distros, or who
don't want glibc2
As a demo of Linux on an x86 box with almost any host OS
As a low-resources box Linux, the current root/boot combo wants 12 meg RAM
Other smaller root/boots can be used if they have mount
As a trial Linux for those who don't want to deploy lots of HD space for
Linux. Yet.
The cLIeNUX loopback version root/boot floppy combo is useful for certain
things.
As a rescue diskset with docs.
As a way to look at various host OS filesystems from Linux, maybe for
data-rescue.
As a demo of Linux. cRoot has a non-VGA font, 2 vt's, a spiffy Bash
prompt.
As mentioned before, a 2-floppy intro to unix.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Thanks to those of you who reported in when I started this project,
the Printing HOWTO's compatibility listing now has information on 176
printers. It's time for round two!
I'd like everyone with a printer to check for their printer in the
list below and
- if your printer is not listed, go to the URL below and add it.
- if your printer is listed but you disagree with the functionality
ranking, read the comments for that printer at the URL below and
send me an email so I can fix the errors.
- if your printer is listed as working, but yours doesn't work no
matter what you try, post to a suitable Usenet group like
comp.os.linux.setup for help. Be sure to provide details of what
you've already tried.
Home URL: http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/printer_list.cgi
Fast/flakey mirror: http://gatekeeper.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/printer_list.cgi
The actual list of known printers is below, sorted by make and model.
There is also a description of the functionality rankings at the end
of this message.

Exact meanings of func_verb categories:
Perfect
Perfect printers work perfectly, modulo minor acceptable color
variations in a few cases. Non-printing functions all work too (ie
priming, loading, as well as faxing or copying, if applicable).
Mostly
Mostly working printers work fine, modulo noticable but non-fatal
print quality variations or non-printing related problems (ie,
requires windows to load cartridge).
Partially
Partially working printers can print something in a useful way, but
there are restrictions. (ie, a color printer that only works in
black and white).
Paperweight
Paperweight printers can print nothing under Linux. They may or may
not work in the future, but right now they don't.
