Re: kernel2.2.13, EMC and SUSE 6.3

Hi All

I got hold of the SUSE 6.3 release of Linux at the weekend. Installed the
2.2.13 kernel, patched and compiled it OK. I have had Linus talking though the
speaker for the first time - that test wouldn't work with my 2.0.36 kernel.
Loaded the EMC file and tried to compile. Not a chance, all I got was pages and
pages of errors. If anyone else is thinking of buying the SUSE release, DONT -
egcs-C++ is not included, and I suspect one or two other bits are missing as
well. At least I still have RedHat 5.2 and a pristine 2.0.36 kernel I can use.
I might try installing the 2.2.13 kernel from the SUSE release on top of RH at
the weekend.
In the mean time I'll find another use for the six CDs from SUSE.
BTW iIs there a use for all those junk CDs that come though the post from the
likes of AOL, Virgin, etc...?

Regards, Paul.
