Hi, I was having trouble getting to the list so did not immediately put in details until now.
------------- From dmesg to show my cpu.

JNOS application developer believes there is no support for context switching. Seems to be a kernel issue to me but maybe the make is not finding the library files?? What do you think?

Try "man texexec". Does it work? I also do not have a texexec manual page. Is this related to ARM on debian? Could you try being more explicit about exactly what you're doing, what you expect to happen, and what is actually happening? --dkg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
