breany LQ Newbie Registered: Jun 2002 Location: Pittsburgh Distribution: Mandrake (8.2) Posts: 13 Rep:	iBCS/COFF under Mandrake 9.0 I'm currently supporting some SCO SYSV COFF executables under Linux on Mandrake 7.2 (insmod ibcs), and would like to get to Mandrake 9.0 - which doesn't seem to provide ibcs support. (9.0 says they're not executable binaries). Google searches seem to imply that COFF won't be supported under the 2.4 kernel - which sounds unLinuxlike to me. The questions are: A. Is there a support methodology for COFF executables under Mandrake 9.0/ kernel 2.4? B. Where is it documented, or what steps are required? Thanks in advance. (Later info: iBCS is supported as Kernel-ABI or linux-abi, from "http://linux-abi.sourceforge.net/sideframe.html". Current support thru kernel 2.4.18, altho Mdk9.0 is 2.4.20).
