- Hi Activists,
-
- I just booted the new 0.99 kernel (the new scsi code is FAST ),
- but I seem to have a scary problem which I hope can be solved by
- upgrading binaries... all my stuff is currently 0.98pl3.
-
- Here is is: Whenever I untar (Gnu tar) something, it's filled
- up with long rows of \377's (^?)!!!! I'm not sure if this is related
- to changes in the kernel or the scsi code or anything.....
-
- I do the untarring onto my scsi disk (Maxtor 3280) where my src
- partition is.
-
- BTW The new kernel compiled easily with Linus's changes.... the little
- config script seems like it would be pretty handy for Kernel-Kompiling
- newbies who don't know yet where all the little bits to change reside
- in the kernel src.
-
- A couple more weeks and Treehouse will be celebrating her one year
- anniversery as a "Real Computer with a Real OS (tm)"!!
