- 1) Exactly, which version of the SLS kernel do I have? The one listed at
- boot up says 0.99-47. The login (getty) report 0.98p5.
-
- 2) I cannot rebuild the kernel and make it work (not panic on boot up). So
- are there instructions some place on how (with what make config options)
- to (re)build the linux ala SLS kernel? I want to make some minor tuning
- to it and I figured I would try to just rebuild the existing one as a
- first step. There are no errors in the make process (as given in the
- README in /usr/src/linux.
-
- 3) Does (or will) linux support setsockopt()? A code I am porting (a DIKU)
- sets the socket to a linger option.
-
- 4) The include files use _ARGS extensively. What is _ARGS? a macro?
- for example, the source code has:
-
- int shutdown = 1;
-
- the socket.h include file has:
-
- int shutdown _ARGS ( some stuff )
-
- can someone explain this to me?
