Hi Linuxers!
Following are some answers to some questions recently mailed:
1) Has anything been done for a FAQ list as yet?
I am currently developing such a beast, and a LINUX Info sheet is already
done (mostly). If you are interested in helping with the FAQ, mail me and you
are on the list....
2) It seems that there may be a little reinventing of the wheel going on
in terms of porting stuff to linux. Maybe it would be a good idea to
compile a list of what has been ported so far, by whom, and where it is
(or patches to the original code) is available from. I guess if noone
else is willing, I could do this.
This list is available as TODO on
tupac-amaru.informatik.rwth-aachen.de:/pub/msdos/replace as are all the
binaries
3) I have read about shoelace in the minix newsgroup before, but i only
have
macminix. Do you need to compile shoelace under minix to get it working
or can it be compiled under linux?
I remember some patches for shoelace under linux sent out on this list,
but I didn`t get them
This leads me to an announcement:
I think next year I will start another service for LINUX. I will save
all the postings on the mailing list an make it available via anon ftp,
perhaps even via a mailserver with the ability to grep for keywords....
If you like this idea, have other ideas, or have set up such a service
yourself, please mail me
See you,
Robert "I'll do it ASAP" Blum
