- I have sent bug report, which trashed my source code fs, to Linus.
- Since my fs is trashed again, I may not be able to keep all
- my promises. If you have sent something for me to test on
- my Linux, I may not be able to test them until 0.99 is out.
- Please re-send them to me if necessary when 0.99 is released.
-
- I have promised to make root disk with new kernel. I will not
- do that until 0.99. I have said to release gcc/libc on minix
- fs disks. I may just release tar.Z version first. Since
- we don't need libsoft.a anymore, the installation should be
- simpler. You just untar them. You may have to fix file
- permissions/owenership yourself though.
-
- The following things I will do regardless of my fs:
-
- 1. libc 4.2.
- 2. gcc 2.3.2/2.4, whichever comes first.
-
- I will make both 386/486 versions. But for testing, I only make
- 386 version.
-
- I will still take bug reports regard to the Linux C library. I
- just may not test them myself.
-
- Thanks for your understanding.
