Bugs and warnings
=================

The MCC interim release of Linux assembles code from many sources.
Bugs have been fixed in some cases, but created in others.  I would
appreciate any bug reports or fixes.  Please send them by e-mail to me
at `LeBlanc@mcc.ac.uk'.

  1. The command `mkfs.ext2' sometimes fails to create a file system
     because there is not enough space for the last superblock.  To work
     around this, reduce the number of blocks slightly.  Remy Card has
     promised a fix eventually.

  2. The `script' command sometimes fails: the new shell stops running
     and the script command terminates.  It is possible to run `script'
     by giving the command `sh -login' just before the command
     `script'; you may need to repeat the `script' command several
     times.

  3. The first release of the tcpip package failed to check whether
     `/usr/etc' was a pointer.  Fixed 11 July 1993.

  4. The second release of the tcpip package (and the first) contained
     a binary `route' in which the pathname `/bin/netstat' was hard coded.
     Fixed 14 July 1993.

  5. The first release of the linux package had permissions problems on
     all subdirectories of /usr/src/linux-mcc.  To solve without reinstalling,
     type 'find /usr/src/linux-mcc -type d|xargs chmod ugo+x'.  Fixed
     20 July 1993.

  6. The first release of the gccb package had a superfluous file,
     /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.4.5/libgcc.a.  It appeared to do no
     harm, but I have removed it anyway.  Fixed 23 July 1993.
