Hey, CramFS is an FS that lets you execute programs in-place (meaning that instead of using RAM, it just uses more space on the FS), my old Agenda VR3 used to use it. It sounds like you may have forgotten to enable Ext2 or something in your kernel... Cameron Matheson On 29 Jul 2001 15:44:44 +0

If you're running any architecture except i386 and have upgraded sysvinit recently (to 2.80-2 or possibly 2.80-1), beware that execute permissions were inadvertently removed from /etc/init.d/rc and /etc/init.d/rcS.
