This should be within the scope of this list... if it isn't sorry for the
noise.. I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this one out.... I have
been running for a LONG time and have had no problem with everything, but
since my install was about 1.5 years old, i decided to wipe everything
and do a reinstall for ELF and all the other new goodies.

Unfortunatly, I got done with my reinstall on sunday and everything
`seemed' to be running well. however, there are a few things that I can't
figure out. First off, memory is strange, when I bring up my system, and
log in (without x) i am using 14 megs of memory. also something seems
messed up with ps...

also... I can't seem to be able to compile a kernel... I get many
different errors... usually undefined symbols or something...

Slackware's release is supposedly running and compiling both ELF and
a.out... however, many things don't seem to work...

Anyone know what I can do? Reinstalling from scratch is not a problem as
everything that i need is saved (passwd, printcap, etc) and this
shouldn't be causing a problem....

Any help is greatly appreaciated...
