^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Along the lines of my last questions, about the progress of Linux over
the Summer, I've been seeing a lot of this (5 hours to recompile
kernel). Is this because the kernel is bigger and GCC slower than
they were when we had 0.96, or are the auth}rs just running slow
machines? I seem to recall about 15 minutes for a recompilation.
BTW, I've gotten several responses about what's new. Thank you. The
only question still un-answered was about my patches to selectively
allow foreign char. sets on VC's. No one seems to know anyone about
them, so I guess a) I'm the only one who ever used them, and b)
they're not in the new kernel.
