Since I've had these problems myself and see that others are having them, and since I don't know much, I'm sharing what I do know. I'm running unmodified 1.3. 1.5.0 #22, kernel 1 of 7 Failure unsharing for unclosed / at the very end of kernel_00, while trying to create proto.h. Since proto.h is supposed to be empty, cp /dev/null > proto.h. 1.5.0 #33, test test_00 contains some binary files. Andy reposted this item with the binaries taken out, but I just used elle to edit the binaries out, then sh < test_00 worked fine. 1.5.0 #63, make_01.uue After getting uncompressed, there turned out to be a binary make right at the front. Used elle to edit that out, then sh < make_01 worked fine. 1.5.0 #67, sh_00.uue Same problem with sh_00 as preceding, same solution. #49 and #70: #70 appeared, but it wasn't numbered. Right after (I know things arrive asynchronously at various places) #69, we got a posting with the Subject: line Summary of all 1.5.0 postings with crcs. That is #70. The information it contains subsumes #49, as I understand it, so I quit worrying about that. Other things gleaned from the net: - indent/makefile is concatenated at the end of indent/indent.pro. I used elle to separate them and toss the superfluous header lines. - fs/proto.h should be an empty file; what it actually contains is fs/type.h. Renamed with mv and created proto.h. There were a couple header lines to edit out. So I've managed (with many difficulties skipped over here) to collect and unpack all the 1.5.0 stuff. Thank goodness for elle. I've never been an emacs user, but with the profile Andy provided to make elle behave somewhat like mined, it certainly sufficed for the editing tasks above, and it doesn't have mined's size restrictions. One last note: since I did all this with a working hard disk and it still took many hours, I gained a new appreciation for the stalwarts who do all this with two floppies. Quite an amazing feat; thanks Andy and others who've made this possible. ==Jess Anderson===Academic Computing Center=====Univ.
