Well, making the rules the same as NT would be fine, I suspect. Even better would be a mount option, I think, since there will always be someone with specific compatibility issues. -- Chip Salzenberg - a.k.a. - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "I wanted to play hopscotch with the impenetrable mystery of existence, but he stepped in a wormhole and had to go in early." // MST3K - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

The last time this issue came up, it was discovered that Windows 9x does not use the same generation rules as Windows NT. Consider that Microsoft has been trying to kill Windows 9x for the last half dozen years, one might prefer the NT method. With config.sys and autoexec.bat being ignored by the Windows Millennium Edition, the transition seems to be making progress. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
Linux 2.2.18pre2
Since 2.2.17 isnt out yet I've released 2.2.18pre2 versus 2.2.17pre20. So you need to grab 2.2.16 then apply the 2.2.17pre20 patch then the 2.2.18pre patch of choice. Ok 2.2.18pre2 merges the large stuff that doesnt interfere with other parts of the kernel and some small fixes that are needed. Microcode.c also now compiles correctly. Pretty much all of this is stuff vendors are already shipping so while it is experimental (paticularly some of the USB) it shouldnt impact mainstream code. The AGP/DRM stuff is 2.4 compatible and works out of the box with the same Xserver setup on the i810 as on 2.4. 2.2.18pre2 (versus 2.2.17pre20) o Fix the compile problems with microcode.c (Dave Jones, Daniel Rosen) o GDTH driver update (Achim Leubner) o Fix mathsemu miuse of casting with asm (??) o Make msnd_pinnacle driver build on Alpha o Acenic 0.45 fixes (Chip Salzenberg) o Compaq CISS driver (SA 5300)(Charles White, + cleanups me) + gcc 2.95 fixup o Modularise pm2fb and atyfb o Upgrade AMI Megaraid driver to 1.09 (AMI) o Add DEC HSG80 and COMPAQ 'logical volume' to scsi multilun list o SK PCI FDDI driver support (Schneider & Koch) o Linux 2.2 USB backport (Vojtech Pavlik) backport 3 + further fixes from the USB list + mm/slab.c fix for cache destroy o AGP driver backport (XFree86, Precision DRM driver backport Insight, XiG, HJ Lu and others) 2.2.18pre1 (versus 2.2.17pre20) o Update symbios/ncr driver to 1.7.0/3.4.0(Gerhard Roudier) o Updated ATP870U driver (ACard) o Avoid running tq_scheduler stuff sometimes with (Andrea Arcangeli) interrupts off o Futher cpu setup updates(me) o IBM MCA scsi driver updates (Michael Lang) o Fix incorrect out of memory handling in bttv(Dawson Engler) o Fix incorrect out of memory handling in buz (Dawson Engler) o Fix incorrect out of memory handling in qpmouse (Dawson Engler) o Fix error handling memory leak in ipddp (Dawson Engler) o Fix error handling memory leak in sdla (Dawson Engler) o Fix error handling memory leak in softoss (Dawson Engler) o Fix error handling memory leak in ixj (Dawson Engler) o Fix error handling memory leak in ax25 (Dawson Engler) o Merge the microcode driver from 2.4 into 2.2(Tigran Aivazian) o Fix skbuff handling bug in the smc9194 driver (Arnaldo Melo) o Fix problems with SIS900 driver on some 630E(Lei-Chun Chang) boards o Make vfat use the same generation rules as (H.
