Were you on the full version ? I have the 6.1 snapshot,
and there are differences. The 'snapshot' provides a base system on one
cd, but I've had trouble with odd things, not a few of them in the
'usr/include' directory.

That would be great - I might actually GET somewhere.

I tried this: lynx gave me about four error messages and then
started loading this file, which is as large as the Bible. In the full
version, INDEX.gz gives every file. (I checked from my 5.3 set). I have
their 6.1 snapshot; INDEX.gz gives every package on all 6 cds. A better
way to do the above is with zgrep, surely?
zgrep resourcebits /cdrom/INDEX.gz; (I mastered this E V E N T U A L LY)

Right - I think I followed that, and it sounded meaningful. I
fired up KDE and did a search on the offending system under
/usr/include for resourcebits.h and resource.h. I found BOTH. Sorry
about the KDE, butI never got 'find' going - I told it to run updateb,
and all the rest but it never takes a blind bit of notice :-(.
I did find:
/usr/include/sys/resource.h (3086 bytes)
/usr/include/resourcebits.h (6045 bytes)
both alive, but not necessarily well. This area of the system is a real
pain. Would a crafty symlink get me out of this?
mkdir /usr/include/bits
ln-s /usr/include/bits/resource.h /usr/include/sys/resource.h
Whose patch should I be using then? Yours or Graham's
