No, I'm not going to; it's obsolete, but people who can not upgrade kernel for whatever reason may find it useful. (Did you get a bug report about the clock.8.gz manpage in util-linux now yet? It conflicts with powerpc-utils.) > I don't have a powerpc machine but after reading this discussion it seems > that some users have problems with the CONFIG_RTC/CONFIG_PPC_RTC issue. > This should perhaps be better documented in Documentation/Configure.help? > (that's just my personal impression after reading this discussion and > without any further knowledge of this issue) Probably true. More eventually, CONFIG_PPC_RTC should be merged in to the normal RTC driver. > BTW: Out of interest: What is the history of the renaming of "fdisk" to > "ddisk" on powerpc? I've no idea. I'd never heard of this, in fact. I bet it stands for DOS fDISK; it reads DOS partition tables and not Apple ones, and mac-fdisk supplies the 'fdisk' binary. -- Daniel Jacobowitz Carnegie Mellon University MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
