When I could not use the 4.02 version (would not build on my Red Hat 6.0
machine),
I found release: ftape-4.x-1999_04_25, setup the MCONFIG and tried "make".
Got this:
[jdbeyer@localhost ftape]$ make
for i in ftape ; do make -C $i all ; done

make -C $i NODEP=true versions; \
done

I.e., even though it is supposed to be able to run without a
/usr/src/linux/.config (since I have never built a kernel), it cannot do it.
I do not wish to try to build a kernel just to get a .config file since there
are 86 pages of options to set, and I do not understand most of them; I would
want to come up with the same .config that they got at Red Hat when they
build my system.
Is there a differend "unstable" version that will build on Red Hat 6.0?
