But this can be managed by the Factory pattern. In addition, in a OS

But the right analysis and design will allow predict invarient state.
I also noticed in this thread posits like "because g++ is not up to the
task" etc, etc. But I am sure that the developers of the Linux kernel
uncovered more then 1 bug in gcc!

Yes, I've heard of it. Is that the question? :-)
FWIW, I downloaded version 3 out of curiosity. Loaded on my laptop,
tried to boot... kernal panic. This after sitting thru a 170 meg
download at 26400!!
I wrote the phatlinux guys, they're "looking into it." I notieed that
there is a newer file on their FTP site so I wrote them to ask what the
difference was. They declined to answer.
In the past I tried their version 1 (included files, like X, way too
outdated), then tried version 2 (file was corrupt), now this with
version 3. What these guys are trying to do is pretty cool, but my
experience with it shows they are not there yet. If you really need to
run Linux in a DOS partition, try ZipSlack from Slackware. Sure you need
to install X and other packages yourself, but it's easy. As far as
performance, X works fine. Haven't tried KDE or Gnome, but I don't see
the point of these anyway.
cheers.

Yes, you need the mpu401 module, but you don't (at least _I_ don't) need
to explicitly load it: it seems to be taken care of by the dependencies
described in modules.dep. I am no expert on the subject, but the the
kernel module loader seems to get everything straight with the
conf.modules I posted.
I should probably mention that I have an OPL3/SAx on the mobo.
Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by "a significant increase in
performance"?

I'll second that. It's also available for all the platforms I need, which
is rather handy. Sure, Emacs is too, but it's a bit too heavy-weight for
me. Jed has most of the features I would use from Emacs, but in a quick-

Have you tried to use rpmfind or the rpm database at rufus.w3.org?
Have you considered shelling out a few bucks to get a CD of a more
recent version instead of trying to upgrade key system libraries
piecemeal? Have you tried to RTFM? rpm is trying to warn you
not to do something really really stupid. Do you have sense enough
to pay attention or are you going to blame the messenger?

I believe that kernel 2.0.x must be compiled with gcc 2.7.2.3 because
it has various bits of broken assembler which just happen to work with
that compiler, but not more recent versions. More recent kernels are
much more robust w.r.t gcc version.

I've tried su-ing to a couple of users, and get the following message:

Can anyone tell me what this means, why I get it and what course of

Date: Mon, 16 Aug 1999 10:28:28 -0400
Hi,
Thanks to all who replied to my question.
Some you suggested that I have to download the kernel.tar.gz file,
unpack and compile the kernel. This procedure was well documented in
http://www.redhat.com/corp/support/docs/kernel-upgrade/kernel-upgrade.html
I found an alternative in
http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/
I found all of RedHat6.0 rpms there and downloaded
kernel-2.2.5-15.i586.rpm from there. I know this is 5 version behind...
On my PC I did 'rpm -ivh kernel-2.2.5-15.i586.rpm'
and modified /etc/lilo.conf to boot from my new kernel.
I still have my 2.0.36 kernel... :)
but after bootup the kernel wasn't able to find the driver for my 3Com
ethernet card's modules. hence i added the foll line to
/etc/conf.modules
path[net] = /lib/modules/'uname -r'
The system boots up perfectly. I checked dmesg and saw no error
messages.
There is one problem though....
When I run 'startx' my DISPLAY env variable isn't set. I saw the error
messages in my .Afterstep-errors file. The Xwindow commands eg
xterm,emacs complain about the display env not being set and exit.
So currently I do setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0 then type startx at the
ASCII prompt. Then it works ok.
If you think I am home safe, thanks you
else tell me more... :)

If you add "append=hdb=ide-scsi" to the top of /etc/lilo.conf you should be
able to use both ATAPI and SCSI emulation in the same kernel with two
different drives, where hdb is the device that normally maps the ATAPI
CDRom. See man lilo.conf for more details.
The SCSI CDs will show up as /dev/scd0.

If you are using kmod, you can edit /etc/conf.modules and setup some
aliases that supposedly preload the drivers you need. Of course, I
never got this to work (you have to reboot to get your edited version of
conf.modules reread, it seems -- mind boggling). Also, you can place
the modprobe in your boot sequence. Modern init scripts seem to lack
rc.local for some reason, but you can stick one in if necessary.

Not everyone agrees that C++ is faster, easier, and stable. In
particular, it can be demonstrated that any stability C++ has on Linux
is actually fairly recent (egcs).

Again, not everyone agrees that there are huge advantages to C++ when
used as a systems (as opposed to applications) programming language.
