tools from the GNU binutils package to manipulate your data.

Bruce Evans accepted this patch,

the ones to ask about integrating it (if not done yet)

they aren't very well commented, but the programming style is straightforward.

<para>
|

Linus is buried alive in mail,
|
||||
and since HJLu (official bin86 maintainer)
|
||||
chose to write hacks around an obsolete version of as86
|
||||
instead of building clean code around the latest version,
|
||||
I don't think my patch for compiling Linux with a modern as86
|
||||
has any chance to be accepted if resubmitted.
|
||||
Now, this shouldn't matter: just keep your as86 from the bin86 package
|
||||
in <filename>/usr/bin/</filename>, and let bcc install the good as86 as
|
||||
<filename>/usr/local/libexec/i386/bcc/as</filename>
|
||||
where it should be. You never need explicitly call this "good" as86,
|
||||
because bcc does everything right, including conversion to Linux a.out,
|
||||
when invoked with the right options;
|
||||
so assemble files exclusively with bcc as a frontend, not directly with as86.

Tebecai is yet another provider which uses a LANcity cable modem

(see the <ulink url="http://www.oswg.org/oswg-nightly/DHCP.html">

Basically the way to go is the same as with Tebecai. A2000 provides
|
||||
cable internet access by means of a LANCity cable modem, connected to an
|

10BaseT ethernet card. This also works well for the "Vortex/Boomerang"
|

cards by 3COM (I've got a 3COM Boomerang Fast Etherlink XL 10/100Mb TX

a static ip address for each connection along with class B Net mask

configuration and simply enter the detail information provided

by Saturn. For other linux distributions user should read NET-3-HOWTO.

If you want to rename the String class, just in case you do not like the name

|

can use this technique, in all the files where you do include String.h, insert

these lines:

<p>
|

If you do not like the String class name then you
|

can use <bf>"typedef"</bf> to rename the String class.
|
||||
|

In all the files where you do include String.h, insert these lines:
|

<code>
|

// If you do not like the class name String, then you can rename using typedef

LinFBB daemon or not? Actually, I haven't changed the "old"

script <tt>xfbbd.sh</tt> with the new one, because during the

first tests with the new one I was getting lots of error messages.
|

Looks that the directory structure was a bit complicated for me
|
||||
to set properly within the new version of <tt>xfbbd.sh</tt>.
|

In addition, there are still some mysterious messages telling

that <tt>m_filter</tt> has not been found or something like that.

The next tasks are to solve these issues.
