*arrrrrrrggggggghhhhh*

Well, that explains that!

> kerneld doesn't work on the Alpha afaik

Is there a due-out, ie., is someone working on this?

This is a bummer, although I don't suppose it's gonna really hurt anything.

Is there a list of "things that work on Intel that don't work on the Alpha" somewhere to keep poor alpha-newbies from fu-rusterating ourselves to death?

TIA
