I've just installed Caiman under Hercules (P3-450), and am deeply impressed that it works at all. The only wart so far seems to be that rm reliably segfaults just after unlinking, which is odd - seems like an ideal excuse to experiment with building fileutils, though. (Still chrooted from the installation system - what's the quickest way to make the freshly installed system bootable?) >I'm in the process of proof-reading/correcting Chu-yeon's "Installation >Guide", so that it will sound "more like what a native-speaker would >have written" ;-) Please - I was never a mainframer, so I'm relying completely on good documentation. :) >In the mean time, Gerhard (now) has an account through which he can upload >his newly compiled .debs to (your choice of ftp: http: rsync:) >//source.rfc822.org/pub/mirror/s390-ibm-linux/debian-390/ > >This site is a debian full mirror (aka ftp2.de.debian.org), >and is run by myself and [EMAIL PROTECTED] >try `rsync source.rfc822.org::` to see what we have. Out of interest, why isn't the binary-s390 tree on auric being used for this? At the moment it only seems to contain essential/required and a few other bits of the base system - no glibc, even. If I can get packages building under Hercules, can I help with uploading things there, or is the Debian port tree not being used for some reason? Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
