Problems with this release as of 19990323

19990904 Kernel modules have not been well maintained lately. There's been a new maintainer to claim them recently, but in thier current state I can't fool with them. This is one area where my hat is off to Red Hat for all the work they do in this regard. Until use of kernel modules is more manageable, cLIeNUX will concentrate on monolithic kernel solutions.

If you have the DSFH version of cLIeNUX, not much from the outside world is going to install. However, the DSFHed script works on just about ANYthing. Have a look-see.

The seedocs are for the most part generated from standard manpages. If man2html left copyright notices in them, they're still there. If not, they aren't, or are slapped back in. Only in cases where a cLIeNUX copyright is in the file are they not copyrighted by the authors of the standard pages.

The standard manpages from the Linux Documentation Project are at version 1.25 as I write this. The section 2 pages appear to be for the 2.0 series kernel. This will also change no doubt. The section 3 pages are not in Core, due to the size. They probably will be in a package.

cLIeNUX doesn't do automated timezone handling. This is a flaw, but I've never liked Daylight Savings anyway. cLIeNUX keeps real time. Political mis-representations of time are Left As An Excercise To The Reader. Here's a timezone package for your entertainment...

cLIeNUX boots to the "11" font. It's not really done, particularly as pertains "graphics" like ps trees. man setfont. Man fonter. man slice.

As far as other slop in this cLIeNUX, this is really just a proposal, and there's only one of me. At some point in an effort like this you just have to stop and release it. This is that point. Feedback is welcome and crucial however. Meanwhile, cLIeNUX should allow you to maximize and optimize what's here relatively easily, and learn a lot of stuff that will stay with you in the process. That is my hope.
