retitle 320861 Really get upstream 1.6c version
merge 314612 320861
tags 314612 - patch
tags 320861 - patch
thanks

Hi,

Actually, upstream told me that these two issues _are_ handled by
version 1.6c. I tested that and his 1.6c version indeed works fine!

The problem is that what debian currently calls "1.6c.debspecfix" is
actually a _1.6_ version, i.e. without any recent patch, i.e. something
dated ~1995...
His corrections are quite similar to the ones I wrote, so just take his.

Please update to 1.6c:

$ cd .../loadlin-1.6c.debspecfix
$ ( cd src/ ; tar xzf srclinux.tgz )
$ wget ftp://elserv.ffm.fgan.de/pub/linux/loadlin-1.6/update-1.6c/patch-1.6c
$ patch -p1 < patch-1.6c    # update source from 1.6 to 1.6c
$ rm -f patch-1.6c
$ ( cd src/ ; tar czf srclinux.tgz srclinux ; rm -fr srclinux )
$ wget ftp://elserv.ffm.fgan.de/pub/linux/loadlin-1.6/update-1.6c/loadlin.exe.gz
$ rm -f loadlin.exe         # remove old 1.6 loadlin.exe
$ gunzip loadlin.exe.gz     # get new 1.6_c_ loadlin.exe
$ $EDITOR debian/changelog
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

And upload _that_. I repeat: currently, debian's stable/testing/unstable
loadlin version is _1.6_, not 1.6c, just look in loadlin.exe and
src/loadlin.asm.

It would even be good to update stable's version for installation CDs,
since the 2.6 kernel on them is bigger than 1MB...

Regards,
Samuel
