I don't know for sure, but I doubt it, as those are SYSV features (more or less) and 3.2 is still a V7/SysIII clone. I have heard, though, that the 3.2 cc/as/ld will not *officially* support long variable and function names, but if you know the right command line argument (which will be undocumented) ... :-) A real inittab? You already have the 3.2 /etc/init if you have installed the 3.2 runtime, so don't hold your breath. Disk partitions? I've been doing that since 3.0! I won't take the time to describe how here (unless I get enough requests), but I will show the particulars. Here is what "diskstat 0" and "diskstat 1" say about my two hard drives: # diskstat 0 cyl = 1024, heads = 5, sectors = 17 bad track max = 100, blocks = 85306 # diskstat 1 cyl = 977, heads = 5, sectors = 17 bad track max = 100, blocks = 81311 Drive 0 is a Miniscribe 6053 (44.6 Mb formatted) and drive 1 is a Seagate ST-4051 (42.5Mb formatted). Here is what "df -vk" (yeah, I wrote my own df, too) says about my filesystems: # df -vk Mount Dir Filesystem Kbytes used free % used / /dev/root 10880 9418 1462 86.6% /usr/spool /dev/spool 31773 29685 2087 93.4% /usr /dev/usr 36660 34565 2095 94.3% The Miniscribe (drive 0) contains /dev/root and /dev/spool. The Seagate (drive 1) contains /dev/usr and a 4Mb /dev/swap area. Yup, swap on the secondary drive. Ah heck, I'll give you a hint as to how to setup the partitions: # l /dev/root /dev/spool /dev/usr /dev/swap brw-r----- 1 sys sys 1, 33 Apr 12 20:06 /dev/root brw-r----- 1 sys sys 1, 34 Jun 30 1987 /dev/spool brw-r----- 2 sys sys 1, 40 Dec 11 09:53 /dev/usr brw-r----- 1 sys sys 1, 42 Nov 25 15:59 /dev/swap Take a good close look at the major/minor numbers above, and then compare them to the ones you're using on your "stock" system. [ I'll bet my /dev/spool looks like your /dev/swap ... :-) ] I will give a more detailed explanation to anyone who requests it. Of course, allow me time to type it up! I'll post it if enough people ask. - paul -- Paul Sutcliffe, Jr. +------------------------+ | Know what I hate most? | UUCP (smart): paul@devon.UUCP | Rhetorical questions. | UUCP (dumb): ...rutgers!bpa!vu-vlsi!devon!paul +------------+
