At least for me, I'm thinking simply shell access to a plain sarge install would be fine. I'd like to play w/ catching SIGILLs via a preloaded shared library. From there, it should be possible to either a) make a package for the lib, add it as a dependency, and have the preload stuff set up if running on a true 80386, or b) add the functionality to glibc. I shouldn't need any special privileges or kernel/system modifications. Just ssh should be fine. -- Andres Salomon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
