Thank you very much for all your efforts.

Ok, got it. Thanks.  I forgot to mention also the newt package (I built it
myself but I have had to patch it because of its pseudo dependancies with
python, therefore I didn't want to upload it).  Hopefully, I got it from the
Incoming queue today :-).

I will try to upload new boot disks next monday, based at least on 2.0.35.
I don't know if I will have time to work on 2.1 series.  The serial console
code detection have to be reworked since 2.1 now use a special device for the
console (no need to install the right symlink to the tty).
Nevertheless, if I'd do it, it will be based on 2.1.125, not 2.1.130.  This is
the only one present in my local mirror (I don't have regular access to a fast
internet connection, just a 14kb/s modem every days & a 2MB/s one or two times
per week when I go to my lab ;-( ).  But I promise you I will get 2.1.130, or
whatever the number is, as soon as possible then repackage the boot disks.

Regards.

Oh, I never figured out it was due to a missing map file.  Thanks for your
work.  I will try it tomorrow if I can find the map to use: I did a quick
search in the glibc source package but didn't find any libc.map file :-(
Can you send it to me or tell me were I can get it in the glibc source tree ?

Thanks in advance.

Very cool. Would it be possible to create a 2.0.35 installation set

Very cool. Would it be possible to create a 2.0.35 installation set
and a 2.1.130 set (next week) ? best of both worlds approach I guess
;-)

ash need to be recompiled

1998-11-26 Thread Eric Delaunay

Hello,

  I'm requiring new ash package to release bootdisks  (0.3.4-2 in sid
complains about different size for sys_siglist).
Is someone working on it or should I do it myself ?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I did a fresh install on a sparc-classic last night with minor troubles.
  I'm fixing them right now...  though I need to update my local mirror before
  releasing the bootdisks.
