The subject says it all: I have uploaded linux version 0.11 to
nic.funet.fi and tupac-amaru. They won't show up for a while on nic,
but are already visible in pub/msdos/replace/incoming at amaru. rtx-11
is so slow to use from here that I didn't upload them there: I guess
they'll show up within a couple of days (tytso?).

The files uploaded were:
bootimage.Z - US keyboard compressed bootimage
rootimage.Z - 1200kB compressed root image
linux-0.11.tar.Z - sources
as86.tar.Z - linux binaries for bruce evans'
16-bit assembler and loader.
INSTALL-0.11 - updated install-info

This version has a lot of corrections, and is stable at least on my
machine. I /hope/ every known bug is fixed, but no promises (and all
unknown bugs are still there, probably with reinforcements ;-). Those
who like to use caps lock as a ctrl-key, you'll have to re-patch the
kernel. It's not implemented in the standard version.

PS. I'll be a bit busy with the #"$/% physics-course I'm taking, so I
might not be as active on the net this coming week as I would like to.

PPS. corsini: the problem you have with the recompiled uemacs sounds
like it isn't resetting the ISIG bit in c_lflags when moving to raw
mode. Search for c_lflags in the source: it should effectively be set to
zero (I think) - no signals, no canonical mode etc.
