The american lobby is pushing hard on european comissions. But just to make things worst, the 'new' DMCA (US laws) explicitely forbid reverse enginering (decompilation)! Richard, I'm afraid you are in trouble... While speaking of trouble with Richard, I tried to install Linux on my Q40 (using the boot loader and the latest collection of rpm from Linux-q40.sourceforge) and I failed miserably to get that working. (Installation of package with install script does not work because there is a dependancy of most package with the new libc, and installation by hand is also interesting/buggy because on the reboot, there is no run level in some etc file, and whatever the level choosen, there is nothing to run [I guess a change of format for initd ?]) I liked the penguin boot screen, as well as atari-fdisk, and qxltools, but that's all. It's a shame, because I was expecting using SLIP/PPP over the serial port to connect to my Linux-PC... SideNote: I got some random Interrupt 2, especially when performing 'ls', any clue ?
