I rebuilt linux-0.95 with gcc-1.40 and had no problems like
free_page_tables called with wrong arguments, I had problemes
with video but nothings serius, just when I make a fast scroll
with less some wierd characters appers in random colors, But they
don't persist on the screen.

I made Linux writing and reading a 1.3 Mb file from floppy
to HD and back from HD to floppy all the night long, tomorrow
Linux was still reading and writing, no problems at all !

Yea, I just picked my copy from ftp.uu.net.
BTW, I noticed a groff on tsx-11, who ported it and when ?
are there printcaps for linux ?
are there print-spoolers ?
... the answer is flying in the wind :)
Ciao.
