Re: Uploaded util-linux 2.9g-6 (source i386) to master
To do so would indicate that Slink officially supports v2.2 of the kernel, which it does not. What about a README file that says: No, Debian doesn't officially support 2.2, but for those people who hadn't enough bandwidth but enough courage here are the sources. I don't mind so much letting the kernel source in. It can't be installed without a sufficient amount of thought so won't be attempted by anybody who doesn't have some idea what they're doing.

Quoting Jason Gunthorpe ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): We also need working DHCP and BOOTP support in Slink otherwise those people cannot use 2.2 kernels - potatos DHCP package has support for 2.2 (and 2.0) but I don't know about bootp. dhcp-beta has worked on 2.1* as long as I can remember. Unless you're talking about dhcpcd? Mike STone
Re: Uploaded util-linux 2.9g-6 (source i386) to master
Ok, so if we really want a Debian 2.1 that is 100% kernel 2.2.x compatible it needs this package to be included in frozen. I've just uploaded it in Incoming/ 10 minutes ago. Non-developers can also access it at http://www.ldsol.com/~vincent/ (NB: there are _2_ binary packages to install: util-linux and mount.) We also need working DHCP and BOOTP support in Slink otherwise those people cannot use 2.2 kernels - potatos DHCP package has support for 2.2 (and 2.0) but I don't know about bootp. We do not officially support the 2.2 kernel in Slink. People who want to use 2.2 will have to compile it themselves and may have to upgrade some packages.

Well, I've had success w/dhcpd-beta. There is also dhcpcd-beta, dhcpd, and dhcpcd, all of which I haven't tried. Does anyone have a pass/fail list for these? Mike Stone

This will not break the Debian policy but gives every user the chance to try it with its own risk and avoid downloading the things over slow connections. Kind regards Andreas.

Needless to say that before to be eventually included in frozen, this package must be _heavily_ tested. So if you're currently running the frozen distribution, please install this package and report any problem you may find. NB: back in June 1996, I decided to switch from Slackware to Debian because Debian 1.1 (codename: buzz ;) was the very first to be kernel 2.0.x ready. So I hope having Debian 2.1 kernel 2.2.x ready will attract a lot a new users to Debian. ;) Yes, that was exactly what I was going to ask. :-) It would be very nice. One doesn't install Linux everyday, and once one does, it should last for a while. Jernej

It may:

util-linux-2.9g/disk-utils/fdisksunlabel.c

Not having a sparc aroud I can't test it, but I'd be interested to know...
