A few questions:
1.) 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.

If there isn't enough room, it will give compress everything that is left and report how much it gave. That is normal. > > 2.)

In fact, ELLE compilation is the only reason I am still hanging onto my old XT. The ELLE makefile is somewhat complicated, but as far as I can see, deffun.c is not needed (or even possible). The file deffun.e is a table that provides the key-mapping. It, plus defprf.e are fed into ellec to make defprf.c, which is compiled into ELLE. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)

Whats the error message of chown ? Can you use chown on files in / ? Robert Regn rtregn@faui32.uucp rtregn@immd3.informatik.uni-erlangen.de
