Hi,

You are free to take an old bind source and create a nslookup package

Hi,
I've recently adopted the isapnptools package. This package is most
useful for 2.2 kernels. However, one of the bug reports (#71007) has
a proposal for making it useful with the 2.4 kernel.
In kernel 2.4, ISA PnP configuration can be done using the kernel.
When enabled, this kernel option p

Well, since I usually want to know what's happening (as well as having a

after 'make mrproper', menuconfig shows that the NFS file system is
enabled by default. With this option enabled, the errors occur in X.
