Success report.
I've just switched my UDB over from running a 2.0.X-series kernal to a 2.1.X
series kernel. Some of the problems I had been having magically went away.
In particular, the distribted PPP started to work, as did the "more" utility.
Do we want the distribution to work with 2.0 kernels? I can see "no" being
considered a reasonable answer -- what's the consensus?
If so, I'll reboot back into 2.0 and compile a list of what starts to fail
again. If instead 2.1+ is going to be required, we need a set of 2.1+-based
install floppies (which I can only test on the UDB). Are the 1997-10-05
kernels 2.1?
(Now I'm going to go test something I've *never* seen work on an Alpha but
which I've used succesfully on Intel boxes -- the bsd_comp module for PPP.)
