As someone who does use bootlin (note the thinly veiled disguise of the
coming non-Linux-specific question), I would like to poll fellow users
for suggestions of alternatives to BOOT.SYS as the means of selection
from DOS.  BOOT.SYS does what I ask of it quite well, but I don't feel
that what I ask it to do (i.e. give me the choice between DOS and Linux)
comes anywhere close to being worth $39, and I don't want to use
unregistered shareware.  Could someone suggest one or more reasonable
(and cheaper) alternatives?  For the purposes of this question, I'll define
"reasonable" as "doesn't achieve configuration selection by file renaming
and reboot" and "still allows convenient use of bootlin."

Add my plaudits for the contributors to Linux to those of the many other
thrilled and impressed Linux users.

Many thanks,

	You should get the new version of GCC, which was uploaded over the
weekend.

	While we are on the subject of the new version of GCC, I want to point
out that I found a small problem with the install scripts.  When I unpack the
jump41.tar file I get the script and a file with a .TZ extension.  The install
script seems to expect a file with a .TZ extension, but it passes that name to
zcat.  Zcat is expecting something with a trailing .Z in the name.  To get
around this, I changed:

zcat jump-4.1.TZ | ...

cat jump-4.1.TZ | uncompress | ...

This is not verbatim, but you get the general idea.

Because Omen Technologies does not make money if you don't buy
Professional-YAM.  You might call the warnings strongly-worded
advertisements.

Personally, Omen will never see a penny of my money unless they find
someone who can write documentation.  There are better (and free)
zmodem implementations for DOS (Texas ZModem for one), and the old
'free' rzsz packages work fine for me.  I also have no use for a
communications program that is by all reports hard-to-use.

The only problems I've had with rz/sz is the result of what I consider

	There is one other possibility, (which is probably a subset of (a)),
and that is a compiler bug which leads to incorrect code being generated.
This could lead to a buggy kernel, but you could stare at the source code all
day long and never have a clue as to what is going wrong.  We do need to keep
in mind that gcc 2.2.2 is still considered a beta release, and RMS does
consider 1.40 (and 1.41) to be a more stable compiler.  In fact, if there are
weird unexplainable problems with the kernel, we might want to consider
compiling the kernel with 1.40 (or 1.41), and seeing if the problems go away
(although I do not know if it is still possible to compile the kernel with
1.40).  RMS has been making noises about a gcc 2.3 release sometime in early
October. 

	I should point out that I have not yet seen any evidence of a compiler
bug being responsible for any problems with the kernel.

	I would not berate the system testing software out there as much as
Linus does.  It is probably true that 32 bit memory access is probably not
tested, but if you have a bad SIMM (or a bad contact in the SIMM socket), it is
a fairly painless way to find out about it.

	In general I have found Linux to be quite stable, and whenever
I do see strange intermittent behavior, it is one of two things:

	a) the CMOS settings are corrupted.
	b) One of the SIMMs is not making good contact.

I have found (a) to happen much more often that I would like, but whenever
I get weird behavior, I will simply reload the CMOS from the defaults in the
BIOS, and this usually gets things going.  I have only seen (b) once.

Recently I got GCC 2.2.2d. I even used the install.2.x shell

But when I try to compile the kernel, or any program bigger than

Any suggestions?

No, recent versions work very well with SCSI controllers. But I still
consider SCSI as "not fully supported", because the installation
procedure is awkward and can be simplified if I can get at some
information in the kernel. (Which - as I understand it - should be
possible with a future version of the SCSI part.)

For your own comfort, you probably want at least 4 MB and 40 MB,

greatly from more memory.

It's undefined behaviour.  The problem is that the program alters the
same memory location multiple times between two sequence points (which
are points in execution when all side effects of previous expressions
are guaranteed to have been completed).

There are two things which a compiler can do about undefined behaviour:
make it work in one way or another, even if it might be unobvious to
some people, or make it produce spectacular effects (core dumps, clay
pidgeons flying out of the user's ears, etc).  The latter is, of course,
preferred, since it makes the problem more obvious than either incorrect
output, or code that just happens to work right.  But as far as
correctness is concerned, any output at all, or even no output, is
legal.

	OK, I have converted the minix fs patch for the extended fs and I
have sent it to Linus.  I think that he will put it in the next official
patch.  I have also corrected a stupid error in ext_bmap() which caused
an incorrect behaviour when the triple indirection was used (I think that
this bug could not cause any damage in a fs so it was not too important.
In fact, they were no symptoms of this bug).

They finally changed the name of that book?  :-)  My third introductory
Unix book was "Unix, The Complete Reference", which covered System V
release 3.  Part way through the book, it even made a joke out of the
title by admitting that it could never cover everything about Unix in
one volume!
