I have a Pentinum II running RedHat 6.0. Out of the
box, the ftape, as supplied, didn't work. I
downloaded the latest 'reliable' version and got the
'fdc-io: timeout' errors. After looking into this, it
seems that there is a difference with the 2.2.5-15
kernel and a structure.
I then downloaded the latest 'unreliable' version of
'ftape-4.x-1999_09_11'. I get the following compile
error:

<========================================>
The only modifications I made was to MCONFIG by
enabling the CONF_M686 and CONF_MODVERSION parameters.
What have I not installed or setup properly?
Also. Is this project discontinued? I'm curious
since there seems to have been no activity since 9/99?
Regards,
Bob Johnson
