[expert] egcs

[Marc Indekeu]

hi,
does anyone know what the story is about pgcc, I saw that gcc en egcs are
reunited. Does this mean that all the pentium opitimizations are support in
the new gcc on cooker ?

thx

Re: [expert] Emergency exit ??

[Marc Indekeu]

Great, but I didn't understood thoroughly:
- Does it read altgr+screenprint+s...u...b  ?
- Is it valid only for Mandrake or for all Linux distributions?


ciao, andrea

this is an option when you compile a (new) kernel, I think it's compiled in
the supplied Mandrake kernel. Don't know for sure, I always compile a new
one.

[expert] compiling for pentium

[Marc Indekeu]

Hi,
can anyone point me to a doc or howto about compiling a tar ball for pentium
?
Lets say I want to compile the latest Alan Cox patch 2.2.11-ac3. What do I
need to change ? I'd rather not dowload all the new rpm's.
thx

That's a pretty big question. Untar it and read any information contained.
You
also want to look at the Kernl HOWTO.

I already tried to modify the top Makefile and the one in arch/i386, but it
still doens't do the same when compared to the 2.2.9 mdk rpm's.
Who makes those rpms's for Mandrake ?
Any idees ?
thx

[expert] unknown host and dns

[Marc Indekeu]

hi,

when switching to Mandrake 6.0 from RH 6.0 the dns isn't working properly
anymore (I think).
A nslookup works fine, but a ping, or telnet give's me an unknown host ...
I changed in /etc/nsswitch the line with host:  dns files 
I've got still one pc with Rh 6.0 wich does the job the right way.
Is this a bug, or did a mis something ?
btw I'am using the supplied bind rpm's and tried the bind 8.2.1 tar file as
well.
What did I miss ?

thx
