The British Invasion #1 landed on Thursday so didn't get a
lot of work done over the weekend :(
PCMCIA-CS breaks on
2.4.x because I've removed the drivers/net/tokenring/ibmtr.h
file. He, he, I'm not putting it back, pcmcia-cs will have
to be fixed. So giving in I'm going to test pcmcia-cs
against all three levels of kernel (2.0,2.2 & 2.4) and see
what needs changing to get it to work with all of them. Of
course, 2.0.39 decides not to compile up on my machine.
First off mkdep was SIGBUS'ing. Grabbing mkdep from 2.4
fixed that, but now all the includes are wrong. Debian
doesn't symlink /usr/include to the kernel source (quite
right too) but the 2.0.39 build scripts think they do, so
I'll have to
fix all that up first. *sigh*
Loaded up a copy of
Elite:FFE to play and found that modern machines are just
too quick and I'm getting blown away in seconds before I
have a chance to zero in a missile the baddies. Perhaps if I
play it under vmware it will slow it down enough :)
Gave
up with NS 6 on the iMac, the extra memory speeds it up but
it still sucks. So it's now got Mozilla 0.9 instead which is
working fine as long as you don't try to quit with no
windows open.
