The original revision was -0.1 on 3 October 1994 by Brian Ward (ward@blah.tu-graz.ac.at). Please send me any comments, additions, corrections, or computers. Corrections are, in particular, the most important to me!
Even though I try to be attentive as possible with mail, please remember that I get a lot of mail per day, so it may take a little time to get back to you. Especially when emailing me with a question, please try extra hard to be clear and detailed in your message. I'd like to thank everyone who's given me feedback.
I originally wrote this in ASCII, then I put some TeX around it, and then horrified the TeX so that I could convert the TeX into SGML with a perl script. Because of the original in TeX, the first version of this document that appeared on sunsite had two section numbers with each section (It wouldn't have looked that bad if they weren't different.). I also realize that it's kind of nonstandard to make revision numbers negative, but oh well. And if any of the above sounds kind of stupid, I don't blame you.
The ``Tricks and tips'' section is a little small. I hope to expand on it with suggestions from others.
So is ``Additional packages.''
More debugging/crash recovery info needed.
A small part of Linus' README (Re: kernel hacking options) is inclusive. (Thanks, Linus!)
uc@brian.lunetix.de (Ulrich Callmeier): patch -s and xargs.
quinlan@yggdrasil.com (Daniel Quinlan): corrections and
additions in many sections.
nat@nataa.frmug.fr.net (Nat MAKAREVITCH): mrproper
The people who have sent me mail with questions and problems have been helpful, too!
