I got linux .99.6 within 24 hours of it's release. I've been having TCP/IP
problems since .99 came out! Curiously, this did not happen over christmas
when I was using the .98.? boot disk that SLS created. I tried compiling
and running .98.6 for a while, to try to get it to break, but I could not get
the kernal to compile. I had erased my old boot disk, so I can't see if it
was the kernal, or the new SLS (Early Jan) that I installed over the old
SLS (Dec 12th) that broke my tcp.
If anyone has a Image file of linux .99.4,5 or 6, that has TCP/IP, NFS,
procfs, boots off of hda2, and does NOT have SCSI (locks my comp), I would
LOVE it if you could send me e-mail.
Peter, if you want to help me track this down, I'd be glad to try out any
and all suggestions, short of mkefs'ing my HD. Please send me e-mail, and
I'll describe my problem in detail to you.
