I just spent 6 hours getting the "zvt" stuff in Gnome to work on Ultras. (This makes gnome-apt and gnome-terminal work.) Apparently fd passing was broken, because the 32-bit sendmsg() and recvmsg() kernel calls were screwed up and difficult to fix. Needless to say I learned a lot about the kernel today (and I'm very happy now that I have gnome-apt on my Ultra). Anyways, anyone who is interested can grab gnome-apt and apt-0.3.0 for the sparc from my ftp site (along with my gnome 0.99.4 compilation). Be warned that apt-0.3.0 is beta - it is better than the older version in many ways, but lacks ftp support. The apt magic is: (choose one) deb http://ftp.cse.msu.edu/debian gnome/ deb ftp://ftp.cse.msu.edu/debian gnome/ Note that Ultra users won't be able to use this stuff until I clean up my kernel patch and make it available. Oh yeah, and back on topic: I have a patch for slink_cd, but I want to upgrade to the latest version of slick_cd and test it before I hand out patches. I'll have it tested by the end of the week. (After Anders' X packages make it into the archive, I'll make some test images available.) Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED]
