I did both. I had to give a fully qualified path for binfmt_elf before the system could find it like thus: insmod /lib/modules/1.2.13/misc/binfmt_elf Now, when fsck runs I get the following error message: fsck: can't load library 'libc.so.5' I have not upgraded libc yet. What other packages will I have to install to make the system work? >The kernels I upload (probably sometime tomorrow evening at the rate >things are going) will have ELF linked in. Soon we can make a.out a >module :-) . Perhaps I will have to wait until you do that before I can fix my system. Since this is all a learning exercise anyway, I can wait. I have one additional question regarding making kernels: I was able to make my own kernel a couple of weeks ago that had support for OS/2's HPFS. This is essential until I can get FTP running under Linux, completion of which has been quite elusive thus far. That was a real learning experience. I did get three warning messages that were: unsigned int format, long unsigned int arg (arg 3) in functions 'SK_print_dev,' 'znet_probe,' and 'atp_probe1.' I also got one warning message as follows: assignment from incompatible pointer type in function 'ppp_first_time.' The kernel compiled and made a boot diskette for me with the added functionality. As I am only slightly familiar with programming in c, can you give me a brief idea of what happened here? Thanks Rod Cole Still having fun learning Debian! ;-) BTW, I have seen the previews for Toy Story and Joel Siegel's rave reviews. It does look like this is going to be a real blockbuster since other big studios have delayed releasing their films because of fear of competition from Toy Story.
