(Mon, 18 Sep 1995 02:10:52 GMT) John Nagle (nagle@netcom.com) said this to all of alt.hackers, and I have proof: : Just saw "Hackers", the movie. It's about as close to reality : as "Ghostbusters". Fun, but very, very light. Fun? Fun? I felt insulted. Worst use of celluloid ever. ObLinuxHack: As you may have noticed, I got a million o' these..... <GNU Plug: Get Linux.> Convincing my employer to buy me a P120 that I get to put Linux on. =) No, really...uhm... ObLinuxHackInProgress: I was trying to re-compile my kernel, to try out 1.3.15, and spent all day running gcc and getting the whole thing compiled, (playing X-Com while I did, on another machine, of course....) So, when I tried to install said all-day-compiled-kernel, viola! lilo says 'Kernel too big.' So, I tried for a few more hours, using various remakes etc.....no luck. I'll keep you posted. to
