I know, but I did not want to increase mail-size, so I did a "uname
-a", since this provides all info and everybody could figure out,
which part of the answer would come from which parameter.

Ok, here's the complete output:
~# uname -m
i586
~# uname -r
2.0.34
~# uname -s
Linux
~# uname -v
#1 Fri Jan 29 01:44:57 CET 1999
~#
Seems okay to me this far.
>(BTW, isn't "uname -m" (machine hardware) depracated for -p
>(processor) in newer architectures?)
*THAT* seems to be the problem, since I get:
~# uname -p
unknown

Nope, sorry. See above.

That's exactly what I get, except UNAME_VERSION gets '#1 Fri Jan 29
01:44:57 CET 1999'. 'uname -p' gives the 'unkown' answer.

I really don't understand what's going on here. My old Debian 2.0 had
no trouble in compiling mutt and tin (both use config.guess), my new
2.1 seems to have "updated" (fubar'd) something.
