- Hi netters,
-
- To be frank, the response has been underwhelming. :-) From the
- amount of bug reports I have gotten, one would think the only bugs that
- exist are in the boot code. I have some, "My machine won't boot", and a
- hardware description, but I think I have only gotten < 10 responses to
- my call for bugs.
- Thanks to those of you who have sent reports in! A couple of the
- bug reports were excellent. Also, thanks to those of you who have sent
- in comments and suggestions, they are appreciated. I would like even more
- of the "My machie won't boot" reports, but can people mention in the
- report if they have tried the new bootables that are on agate.
-
- So, if you would/could, please people, send in what you got.
- ABUSE my time. I just put off a job until school so I could organize
- this. So far I have about 20 bugs (about a dozen of them are little ones
- I have found), and a couple I got of Terry Lambert's FAQ, and a couple
- more data points on boot problems.
-
- I may be asking for it, but even if it's a bug like:
-
- chmod +t filename doesn't work, I don't have a fix.
-
- Send it in. It's better to have someone know that, because the fix is
- probably easy, but no-one will fix it unless they know about it.
-
- Sorry I can't set up an alias (yet) to have bugs sent to. The machine I
- am currently on is a loaner, but when a friend gets back from vacation I
- will see if I can set up a mail alias on his machine to collect bug
- reports.
-
- Now that I got that off my chest, make me eat my words. :-)
-
-
- Nate
-
- ps. I've sent mail to Chris and the Jolitz, and I *hope* to get a
- report from them so I can follow their format when writing up
- the list to make bug reporting easier.
