- It was not received as a flame by me, I just seem to either not be able
- to make the instructions work or have a dir/structure problem. For some
- of the past releases someone has sent out a list of what "THEY" had on
- their system (ls -lr * type list) and it helped me a bunch.

- I am having problems there as well. As I have had a few folks that
- wanted just the files to have Linux and GCC and was requesting a list to
- download.
-
- So I decided to backup my Linux 0.96a and reformat and repart the HD and
- see just what was needed to setup that system.
-
- The INSTALL script on the ROOT096C image was GREAT!
- The relnotes with all the GCC222 files I have led me into loops and
- confussion, as following them, in order trashed my system.
-
- After someone sent me netmail with a list of what they installed and
- what they ignored, I was able to get the GCC installed but not make a
- Image! No 'make' program. I found one on my 0.12 backup set, and it
- seems to work with the exception that the makefile will not put the
- Major and Minor in the Image.
-
- Now I am looking for the 'patch' program, did not find it on my 0.12 or
- 0.95 or 0.96 related files....
-
- If the GCC package had in 'INSTALL' like the ROOT096C image, I am sure
- Linux/GCC would find more users that would use the set. Heck just a
- accurate list of what goes where would be great! (the install in the
- GCC works, but with lots of dought hanging over your head while it does
- it's thing).
-
- Please consider the above as constructive criticism!
