Has anyone compiled compress.c in MINIX and gotten it to take a chmem =64000 compress ?? I can't, even though changemem specifies this. 2.) HAs anyone gotten elle compiled that can give me a few pointers. The Makefile is looking for a deffun.c to compile which I cannot find anywhere. If there is such a thing, I don't have it... could someone who does have it send it my way? 3.) Why can I not chown anything to root? I am logged in as root. nothing in /usr/bin can I get to root ownership unless I copy it out to /, delete it in /usr/bin, and copy it back in. Did this for login, su, df, etc. michaelb
