Message-ID: Date: 30 Jul 90 12:17:45 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Lines: 16 A few assorted minix (ST 1.5.10) questions ..... 1. Does anyone have gcc working under 1.5.10 kernel and if so where can I get it ? 2. There was supposed to be a new st floppy disk driver which did away with /dev/dd? and /dev/fd? by sensing the kind of disk present , what happened to this ? It wouldn't be too tricky to add an ioctl call to dynamically alter the type of disk but I don't want to reinvent the wheel , I would imagine that auto sensing a raw tar would be problematical anyway . 3. Was the bash source/diffs ever put anywhere ? I take it that O_NONBLOCK mode blocking for tty's is a bug , the fix is very simple I will post the fix if anyone wants it (no idea if it works for PC's though).
