Keywords: 386bsd Sender: news@cujo.curtin.edu.au (News Manager) Organization: Curtin University of Technology Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1992 11:12:34 GMT Hi there, after running 386bsd-0.0 since march, 0.1 has not much to offer. Here is a list of problems, the first is really a showstopper: 1 - large makes hang the system sometimes (try making the kernel a few times) (the patched 0.0 worked fairly reliable, it started trashing and later hung when I compiled X11R5) 2 - if fsck fails at the second partition, init continues rather then reboot 3 - the com driver looses characters (0.0 hasn't) 4 - ddb is not documented 5 - pccons.c driver delays entered characters until the next char is typed (sometimes) (0.0 hasn't) 6 - cp is stupid in single user mode ???? (0.0 wasn't) 7 - kern_execve.c doesn't recognize #!/bin/sh (patched 0.0 did) 8 - mtools don't work 9 - kermit is broken in multiple ways I think I combine the best out of both worlds and run a mix of 0.0 and 0.1.
