- Yes, as I said, I'm running 0.97pl1. (I'm not using shoelace or lilo or
- other such things. My system is Linux only, and has no other OS. The
- boot floppy method is just fine for me.)
-
- The /usr/src/linux/tools/system is up to date, since my boot floppy was
- built from the same make. I have tried deleting /etc/psdatabase, but it
- has no effect.
-
- Something Linus said in a recent post suggested to me that due to changes
- in the kernel, ps breaks with 0.97.1, and is likely to break again in
- 0.97.2. Do others have 0.97.0 ps working with 0.97.1, or is this problem
- truely something in my setup?
