- I'm not sure where I gave the impression that I'm having a problem figuring
- out how to make a boot floppy. I'm compiling 0.97.1 just fine. I'm making a
- boot floppy just fine. (After several versions, it's old hat! ;) I'm running
- from a boot floppy I compiled and made with dd bs=8192 if=Image of=/dev/myfloppy
-
- The problem is ps-0.97 doesn't want to make a new psdatabase. period. I kill
- the old one, I remake the kernel, no avail. I suspect that ps broke with
- 0.97.1, and needs a new patch.
-
- Others have replied to me via mail that they are having the same problem,
- and are also hoping for an answer.
