Of course, I do understand that hamm is still considered unstable.

There, now it's on-topic. And please correct me if source for 5.0 is available... It is available, just only in book form. This is a cover your ass move by PGP as cryptographic code can be legally exported from the US if it is not machine readable. The source at http://www.pgpi.com/ is almost exactly the same as the source used to build the US version at the MIT site, the only difference is that the US version uses RSAREF, to avoid the patent issues. I have seen versions of PGP 2.6.3i that were legal in the US, because they were compiled with RSAREF instead of MPILIB. It must be possible to do this with the PGP 5 code base as well. - -- Joel Espy Klecker mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.espy.org/ Apple Flavored Unix (http://www.espy.org/apple-flavored-unix/): A meta-index of unix-like OSes for macs and mac clones. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.5 iQCVAwUBNId1vwoYIlYX1XaBAQHIhQP/WyWh0yzM2/jpST88Y01FTM++UIlfF/S6 F5RBlvsDBkL6cOnLbX58wdCdb/Y4Py+9jU97dPN6OXI5Hjw1fQ3xaTA4pOWa4hsH 5SvQ/74yWKB1V6ei7m6/okUBrA4JjcYKZ4Qz+dfYLQ21rzPITvcPuZIDlJkgj+cP Cn6aI/9q6NI= =3XdF -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Compiling kernel rm -rf asm linux scsi?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 1997-10-21 at approximately 05:45 PM -0700, Mark Phillips wrote: I am trying to compile the kernel. The README says I should make sure /usr/include/asm, /usr/include/linux, and /usr/include/scsi directories are just symlinks to the kernel sources. They are not, so should I do a rm -rf asm linux scsi as they suggest? No, don't do that (there is a very good reason for that, but I am not clear on what it is, perhaps someone else on the list can enlighten me :). I suggest using kernel-package to build a kernel, see /usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz if that package is installed on your system. It works great, I recently used it to build a 2.0.31 kernel-image and kernel-source package. I have excerpted a section of /usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz below to show how simple it is to use. For the Brave and the impatient: 1% cd kernel source tree 2% make config # or make menuconfig or make xconfig and configure 3% make-kpkg clean 4% make-kpkg -r=custom.1.0 kernel_image 5% dpkg -i ../kernel-image-X.XXX_1.0_arch.deb 6% shutdown -r now # If and only if LILO worked or you have a means of # booting the new kernel.

Just use the kernel-package package.
