any progress on those? will it be 1) definitely in next update
or 2) definitely not able to get into next update, or 3) probably
in next update?
- support of ext2 new features.
- install on linux ext2 partition
- UDS support in tcpip full stack,
or maybe de-couple it from tcpip and provide a special/separate driver?
- allow users to add .so object load directory (like linux’s /etc/ld.so.conf)
- mousetrap/inputtrap be more friendly to non Photon apps.
- autodetect modem as a 3rd serial port.
- boot/install on SCSI support.
ATA 66 ATA 100 support.
- package manager be firewall/proxy friendly.
- net driver support of promiscous mode.

I believe our LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable performs this function.

I am not certain, but I believe this is one of the primary issues that the
first patch will address.

Which features are you wanting? One thing that will be in the patch
is support for the buggy e2fsprog (v1.9) that most distrubutions are using.
So we will be able to mount drives we could not before.
- install on linux ext2 partition
This is currently in testing with QA. I am not sure how/when it will be
released but I am sure it won’t be public until the next patch is out.
Not sure if it will get released at the same time or afterwards. My guess
would be afterwards.
- UDS support in tcpip full stack,
or maybe de-couple it from tcpip and provide a special/separate driver?
I think I can say it will be separate and that I have no idea when it
will be part of a release.
- autodetect modem as a 3rd serial port.
I think that this is in place now internally so it should be part of the
next patch.
- boot/install on SCSI support.
The current bootimages for internal patches have SCSI support, so I am
sure that some SCSI drivers will be supported.
- package manager be firewall/proxy friendly.
Well, I have been using the pkg-installer from behind a firewall from
the first time I used it. It appears to have a setup screen for using
a proxy in the current internal release.
- net driver support of promiscous mode.
No, I don’t think that this will be in place. Which card do you want to
have to this supported on first? Just curious…

see my post in this same group under thread “ext2 limitation”.
it is the “filetype” extra feature.

That will be great! The touchy question is “when will be the next public
patch”. If it is soon, I can live with “afterwards”, otherwise, I am
interested in pre-test. I hope “filetype” feature can be added to
ext2 support first.

Lots of public domain software uses UDS, hope it can be added soon.

we use tulip (PCI) and ne2000 (ISA) exclusively.
Thanks for your answers chris. hope someone else can answer
rest of the questions.

I know this one but there are definitely benefits of having
a system wide config file instead of setting env variable for
each process.
BTW, is there a way to set an env variable so that all the processes
and users will inherit that variable? be it cron jobs, daemons, …
