Sorry if i didn't make myself clear. The fact the kernel runs or not elf binaries wasn't the idea. You remember me the time i was used to program in C, i always compiled a simple a.out and tried to debug it with adb because i misused pointers of pointer and casting in order to optimize the code because i had less than 64/512ko of ram to reinvent the world (No, i didn't made all that codes in a garage in my backyard, but they were lost in a faulty 10Mo MFM harddisk for sure. So ended my brillant career :). Anyway, a.out format is mostly replaced with elf format nowadays. Actually, i have spoken about the fact that a program written in a compiled language will not be as flexible as an interpreted one. In other word, /sbin/rc should stay a shell script. I'm pretty sure that will not please to some of you gentoo developers ;) Jj -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
