Randy
: I recently purchased the Fall 1994 version of Yggdrasil's Plug-and-Play
: Linux. Enclosed was also the August edition of LINUX JOURNAL. Reading
: through it, I found an article concerning the Summer release of PnP. In
: it, publisher Phil Hughes commented that "[Yggdrasil] have ignored the
: Linux file system standard." I have a number of questions about his
: statement. First, what exactly are the differences between the two file
: systems? Will it be a problem if (when) I decide to download or purchase
: new Linux programs? Has Yggdrasil resolved these differences in the Fall
: PnP? I want to remain as close to tht *standards* of the Linux development
: community, so the answers to these questions are somewhat important.
: to this group is more than adequate. I only have 3 weeks to decide if I
: should keep PnP or send it back, so time is of the essence. Thanx!

1. Yggdrasil Plug-and-Play Linux: Fall 1994 "revB" floppy
|> Note: this post should only concern Yggdrasil users who have the Sony
|> CDU-33A or the SonyCDU-31A CD-ROM drive.
|>
|> We identified a kernel problem (a null pointer was being deferenced)
|> in the driver for the Sony CDU-33A and CDU-33A shortly after the
|> release of our Fall 1994 CD-ROM. To fix the problem we released a
|> revision B boot floppy which is available via anonymous FTP at
|> ftp.yggdrasil.com (192.216.244.52) in /pub/fall94/revB.
|>
|> This bug (and the fix) has been reported to Linus Torvalds. Complete
|> source code for the revB kernel is also available in the same
|> directory as the boot floppy image.
|>
|> If you lack FTP access, we are able to mail a floppy to users of the
|> and CDU-31A and CDU-33A drive. If you plan on ordering and you have a
|> CDU-31A or CDU-33A drive, tell us and we'll make certain that you get
|> the fixed floppy.
|>
|> In addition, the Fall 1994 errata is complete, as far as I know.
|> Please get it *first* if you are having any problems. It is available
|> through:
|>
|> - anonymous FTP from ftp.yggdrasil.com (192.216.244.52) in
|> /pub/fall94/errata.
|>
|> (If this doesn't work, mail me -- I just set this up a few days ago.)
|>
|> We also have the following two technical support options available:
|>
|> - The 900 number (900-446-6075 x835 U.S. only) for our general Linux
|> consulting line (yes, we've helped people using other distributionse
|> too). It costs $2.95 a minute and operates from 9:00 to 5:00 PDT.
|>
|> - Call our sales line and arrange either a $25 one call support (best
|> described as "one problem as best we can help you or 15 minutes of
|> our time, whichever is longer"). We also can arrange long-term
|> consulting.

|> Be sure to include Keywords: and a short description of your software.
