I found this solution to the ppmtolss16 problem with rh8, that is still in rh9 ... The solution to the "Premature EOF" problem with ppmtolss16 (Under RedHat 8.0) is to "export LANG=C" before running ppmtolss16. Thank you to: "Patrick J. LoPresti" <patl@xxxxxxxx> for that! Can someone make sure that this is fixed in mkimages.i386 before rh10 is released ?? Thanks Lance -- uklinux.net - The ISP of choice for the discerning Linux user.
