I have put together a release snapshot of elkscmd as it has been a while since
I last released anything, and alot has gone in. This release may be a bit
untidy as CVS is currently down which makes it harder to keep track of what is
going on.
The package is available from the following URLs
Hi there,
I'm building elkscmd2107 and get the following messages:
ld86: warning: _pututline redefined in file
/usr/bcc/lib/bcc/i86/libc.a(utent.o) ; using definition in utent.o ld86:
warning: _getutid redefined in file
/usr/bcc/lib/bcc/i86/libc.a(utent.o);using definition in utent.o
I have updated the sys_utils directory in the elkscmd program so that
the copyright statements are all clear and each program has a man page.
If anyone has contributed code to this directory and is not credited, please
let me know and I will put you into the files headers.

I've got a new fdisk just about ready to go into elkscmd, which should fix
a number of bugs people have reported
found it.. thanks to a local Guru.
when doing mkfs.minix I wasn't specify an inode count, it was guess
according to the size of the disk. This droped from 120 inodes (at 360K) to
42 (at 128K).
adding the '-i 180' parameter solved the problem.

well, I found the problem from init and my /etc/inittab but there is a much easier
way:
$ ls -l .
Al,
indeed there was a problem at least in the scanFile function, which I think
I corrected. You find the modified version of that function here.
As I wrote before, there is work to be done in init about the information in
the utmp file. it is not urgent to me, so I didn't look at it with too

the CVS server, checkout / update the sources for elks and elkscmd, then you
say I need to build my libc -part of the 8086 development package- against
the correct ELKS kernel. "what do you mean by that? that is not an answer!"

Hi all,
I'm newbie with elks since few weeks.
When I compile elkscmd to make the root FS, I have errors on fdisk.c compiling.
It does'nt find linuxmt/ directory and all .h included. What's the matter ?
There is a variable linux tested by #ifdef in order to choose between 2 types of
header files

I have put a patched version of this file in elkscmd. Once it is merged
into dev86, I will remove it.
the second problem was a discrepancy in elkscmd/sys_utils, between
passwd.c and login.c. login.c removes the trailing '\n' from
. one may think that swapping twice corrects the problem, but this
is not the case, since we will be changing the password to all members
of the group.

Hi all,
I have uploaded the latest snapshot of the elksmcd package to:-
ftp://ftp.ecs.soton.ac.uk/pub/elks/elkscmd
ftp://linux.mit.edu/pub/ELKS/elkscmd
This is a minor update with two small bugfixes, and a change to the way the
root filesystem template is handled.

, there are a
number of
other problems in the elkscmd make as well.
Are you using dev86 version 0.14.8? That's what I used. It requires
a patch as well if you're running libc 2.0... I'll submit that as well.
I am using the latest dev86 from the primary ftp site (got it on Saturday),
