I *need* kzip for my BOOTP based :> diskless workstations! : :Then you'll need to port it to ELF. : :- Jordan I've got 3 months worth of VM work that needs to be done. I am *not* going to spend a month learning how ELF works just to port kzip. I can barely fit a minimal uncompressed kernel on a floppy now, and then only if I use every last block on the floppy. Add in a minimal number of sound drivers and it becomes impossible. If you guys move to ELF kernels without a working kzip, it will screw over a lot of people, not just me. If you don't break a.out kernel compilation then we can continue to make a.out kernels. But if you break a.out kernel compilation ( make it elf or nothing) it puts a whole bunch of people into a bind. -Matt Matthew Dillon Engineering, HiWay Technologies, Inc. & BEST Internet Communications & God knows what else.
