- Greetings *,
-
- I fetched the X server and the patched kernel for X from
- pub/incoming/X386. I found that ps works correctly with the patched
- kernel. However, I have some questions:
-
- 1. What kind of patches were put into this kernel?
- 2. The X server is roughly 1MB while the X server I got from
- pub/386BSD/0.1-ports/X386 is roughly 11 MB. In other words,
- the debugging info is around 10MB. Am I correct?
- 3. Is there a way to split the files so that it'll fit into
- either 1.2M or 1.44M floppies?
- 4. Except that the X server from pub/incoming/X386 is more stable,
- do I have to get the rest bin, inc, lib, etc. files? Can I
- use the files from /pub/386BSD/0.1-ports/X386?
-
- Thanks in advance! You can either post the answer here or email
- me at jlu@cs.umr.edu.
