- haven't given it a proper go yet, although i used the wrong syntax when i
- did, and then discovered my bootdisks were stuffed, and had to sector edit
- my inittab file to comment out the uugetty call :(
- my own fault entirely...
-
- But it works now...
- Do you need to do anything to dial out of the line or does it work that
- out itself ?
- (i haven't done any real testing yet...)

- Change your makefile to use the library called termcap instead
- ie. change -ltermlib to -ltermcap
- That usually works...[B

- Well, there oughta be...
- I'm quite sure there is somewhere.
- Anywyay, get the source, and untar it so it ends up in /usr/src/linux
- then cd /usr/src and say
- patch < patchfile
- and away you go...
- watch out for it saying "hunk failed", although it goes by so fast
- you may want to do patch < patchfile | tee file
- and look through file afterwards...

- Hardly had it, although i haven't really the need to leave it running all
- the time (yet 8-)
-
- BTW, what happened to trapping of Ctrl-Alt-Del to call reboot ?
- It disappeared towards the end of 0.97-start of 0.98, and i kinda
- miss it (no drama, just wondering...)
