Hi-
What is the status on the console-data fix..? I don't mean to be
pushy, but dselect won't finish installing the X packages (including
netscape, enlightenment, etc) so I'm stuck running afterstep and
lynx...:-)
Is there something I could test..?
TIA

Dear Adam,
I think the real problem is another one. That I want to run this
enlightenment and GNOME thing, while I should rather use my good
old fvwm, so to also gain in performance. Even better Motif, if
there is one for ppc. At least we had a few certainties before,
while now all things k

... by the way, yes it is *unstable*, I know it. But this must not
necessarily imply that it *must* crash, right? One can also upload
the new packages and leave the freedom to the others to do some
beta-testing or keep the old one, right?

The pm2fb in the latest APUS patch is newer than the one on the web site.

Not really. gets() is similar, but cannot check for a buffer overrun

Yes, gets() is dangerous because it doesn't check the bounds of the
input buffer. One should use fgets() instead, e.g.:

Hello, ...
Some time ago i upgraded the amiga-fdisk 0.03 to 0.04 in a NMU, as well as
recompiled it for powerpc for the apus system.
Now i am working on debian/powerpc/apus boot floppies, and noticed the
following problem.
the 0.04 amiga-fdisk uses libreadline to do its input/output, so it will

sorry i missed this question, no yaboot does not give you a graphical

Except for removing lines, and running `make oldconfig' afterwards to sanitize
the .config.

That's not make-kpkg's fault, it's the kernel's. Hand editing the
.config is a bad idea.

After going through make menuconfig, I manually edit my .config file to
change:
CONFIG_PARIDE_PARPORT=y
ro:
# CONFIG_PARIDE_PARPORT is not set
since my 7300/200 doesn't have IDE and there's no way to remove this
option using menuconfig or xconfig.
However, when I run make-kpkg to generate the
Renaud,
Yes, I'm running 2.2.15pre4:
Linux diziet 2.2.15pre4-karma #1 Sun Jan 23 16:31:03 PST 2000 ppc unknown
This kernel compiled for me with no problems, but machine checked
on start up (courtesy of the dumb serial support, which seems to
be my single common problem with compiling new kernel
has anyone managed to successfully compile 2.2.15pre4? I get the following

Will tkstep8.0 8.02-3.4 be available soon for PowerPC? The
version available, 8.02-3.3 is buggy, and prevents fetchmailconf
(and other programs depending on TkInter) from running. Thanks,
