- Hi everyone,
-
- First, I'd like to thank all those who have answered my post about removing an
- invalid directory. I haven't applied the changes to my kernel yet but I will,
- sometime today. Read on to find out why I'm waiting a bit.
-
- I was really enjoying Linux and having a lot of fun until this week. I've
- encountered a few problems which I need a bit of help with:
-
- 1) When I untar a file that contains a file with more than 14 characters, for
- some odd reason, the system reboots. What is the problem?
-
- 2) I've had major problems with system reboots all week. I try zipping files
- and the whole thing blows in my face after a while. Is there a known limit to
- using zip on Linux?
-
- 3) I'm currently using 0.96cpl1. Now, after all the trouble I've been
- through, I'm going to update to 0.97, hoping all the problems will go away
- (wishful thinking? :-) ). I need to know what the current release is. I know
- we're up to patch #1 (it's on tsx). What is the one line patch? Is it
- already included in the patch on tsx? And I seem to recall that patch #2 is
- also available. Am I wrong? If not, where can I find it?
-
- Thanks for your help. Hopefully, within 24 hours I will once again have a
- stable system.
