I got poeigl-1.7 from tsx-11, recompiled init, and reinstalled getty from
getty_ps203. So, now I have a new init and getty, right? It *still*
thrashes! Oh, I replaced bash with bash-1.12, too.
Anyone have any other ideas? H.J. suggested that I replaced bash with the
one from his rootdisk, but that would require installing the jump table
stuff, as well as new shared libraries.
Can anyone email the release stuff that Linus posted for p5? I have this
sneaking suspicion that Linus changed something drastically for p5, but I\
don't have the release notes anymore. :(
Linus, would it be an idea to package the release announcement with future
releases, so that those of us who missed the release announcement would have
a clue as to what has changed? Or is this on tsx-11 somewhere, and I've just
missed it?
Thanks!!
