[comp.sys.att] new addition to osu-cis archives

brant@manta.pha.pa.us (Brant Cheikes) (04/13/90)

Announcing a new member of the osu-cis archive family:

-rw-rw-r--  1 ftp      10         175199 Apr 12 19:31 kern.cpio.Z

Relocatable object files used to link the 3.51m kernel.

Now, please indulge me while I make a suggestion.  Now that we have
all the object modules, we're all going to run right out and start
hacking until our collective brain turns to oat bran, right?  And so
we can all expect to see the consequent slew of "my fav'rite kernel
mod" articles on the net.  SOMEONE should keep track of all this (and
it won't be me, though osu-cis would certainly be an appropriate
storage place).  I think this is an issue worth considering.

Before people go off and start hacking with the kernel, I'd just like to say
that I've been working with the kernel the past few days and I've been able to 
reverse engineer conf.c.  I'll be posting the source to conf.c to the net in 
the next few days so don't bother spending any time duplicating my efforts.
