- Along the lines of my last questions, about the progress of Linux over
- the Summer, I've been seeing a lot of this (5 hours to recompile
- kernel). Is this because the kernel is bigger and GCC slower than
- they were when we had 0.96, or are the auth}rs just running slow
- machines? I seem to recall about 15 minutes for a recompilation.
-
- BTW, I've gotten several responses about what's new. Thank you. The
- only question still un-answered was about my patches to selectively
- allow foreign char. sets on VC's. No one seems to know anyone about
- them, so I guess a) I'm the only one who ever used them, and b)
- they're not in the new kernel.
