net-tools-1.3.6BETA5 Release-Notes ------------- This is the second Release from the new net-tools Maintainer Bernd Eckenfels. net-tools@lina.inka.de for Bugreports You can see from the version number, that this is still not an official release for the net-tools package 1.3. Please check the patches. Some work needs to be done on the french manuals and nls files. Please contact me if you want to translate a few sentences from english to french. (Easy job.) The net-tools are intended to upgrade a System which is running >1.3.30 Kernels to support the new and enhanced Features. To get support for all the Features included, u should compile them with an 1.3.x Kernelsourcetree. The Tools should be run on 1.2.x Kernels, too. With a recent Kernel this package should compile cleanly and without warnings. Please send me any problems you encounter. If you have a recent Kernel you can answer all the Configuration Options with YES. You only have to decide about the NLS: If you don't know whether NLS is supported on your system or not, see /usr/include/locale.h. If it exists, there is every chance that NLS is supported. Set LANG environment variable accordingly before installation. You also need the "gencat" program. net-tools aims to be available in your language. Please contact me if nettools is not yet translated into your language and you want to add your contribution to its translation. To Install simply use "make config ; make ; make install". See the File Changes for a Documentattion of the new Features and TODO if you want to help me improving this Package. Bernd
