I decided there were far too many files in the
root directory of /mit/linux that shouldn't be there.
I moved all the user directories from there
to /mit/linux/people where they belong.
Hope this doesn't break things for anyone.
At some point, GCC, afskern, kernel, gif,
libc-4.6.27, limekiller, pkg-lists, and report
should probably get moved into about two subdirs
but I can't think of good names for them.
How about:
GCC --> system/GCC
afskern & kernel --> system/kernel (and clean this up to
have an elf-buildable 1.2.13
along with some
prebuilt kernels)
gif --> etc/images
libc-4.6.27 --> system/compatlib (for libc and libX11
compatability libs)
limekiller --> somewhere (what is this for, Sal?)
pkg-lists --> etc/pkglists
report --> etc/report (this is so out-of-date it should
probably just go away)
There has to be some better word than "system" but I think that word
is "packages" which is already taken and they shouldn't just go in
there. We should probably have a README file in /mit/linux that
explains how to get started and what to read about Linux is.
On another note, should we have package names end with .tgz or
.tar.gz? I see that the elf-packages end in .tar.gz although
I think they should end in .tgz so that we can keep the
package names to 8+3 so we can put them in as part of the Slackware
(or some other distribution) without changing the names.
