Greets Linuxers!
Last night I grabbed the 0.98 sources, added the fast scsi patches posted here
recently and compiled (Jump table 4.1). Rebooted, start up X and go to xterm
1. Changed into /usr/src/pbmplus/libtiff, uncompress everything and edit
Makefile. So far so good, now comes the fun bit. I type make and gcc starts
compiling tif_fax3.c, lots of disk activity to start with and it trails off
slowly. I wait and wait, then I think, lets check the process table etc. Haha
no cursor, no nothing! SOMETHING is eating ALL the CPU. I wait till the disk
acitvity is nil then reboot and try again. Exactly the same thing happens. This
time (1:20am) I think, maybe it'll come back by morning. Wrong! This morning
(8:10) it was still locked up. Tonight I'll do it again and see if SHIFT-Scroll
and CNTL-Scroll work (I forgot them last night - too tired). Also, after booting
I ran fsck -v /dev/sdc3 (my /usr) and something had written about 15MB worth of
Zone XXX marked as used but not used" type messages. Any ideas? My hardware
