the bits and bytes but this time with view on historical
facts. Someone remembers the bootdisk and the rootdisk?
When it was not possible to boot from CD-ROM it was
necessary to dd a bootdisk and a rootdisk image to floppy
disks. After a few installs, one of them was always fscked.
So why were we using Linux at all? Wasn't it a funny time
with TurboPascal at school? Or even better with BorlandC++
which I got hands on in '94 or so on a low-price
(b/c outdated-)version. For a price of just 80 DM
which was still high enough at that time one also got the incredible TurboDebugger and there the fun starts.
While I am not going to explain for what reason exactly
TurboDebugger was cool (I know the even more cool guys
used SoftIce :) it showed you the hard way why
RealMode really sucked in particular if there is a ProtectedMode
since years. So isnt there any good OS utilizing that?
Whats this "Linux" ...?

lol?
One problem here,My Aria is updated to 2.2 recently,when I try to root,the unrevoked writes waiting for root,and my phone restart into normal,and nothing change,is unrevoked not support anymore?
I downloaded the unrevoked package for my Mac, and when I tried to run it it said it is not supported on this architecture. I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8. Do you have any suggestions?
dear blogger, you have no clue about linux so stop blogging about it
Good that such a great hacker like yourself also never used SoftIce and used the TurboDebugger instead. This made day. Thanks. ;)
