This is an unofficial port of ELI3.4 to 386BSD (free UNIX for 386/486 PCs). 


WHAT'S IN THIS DIRECTORY:
========================
  00-README		this file
  386bsd.Z		patched kernel (Patch-kit Beta + XFree + ne2000 patch)
  ELI3.4-bin.tar.Z	Eli binary
  diffV3.4.Z		diff to the ELI source
  fixed/		some fixed 386BSD commands to run/build ELI
  fixed/expr.Z		GNU expr (need to replace the stock bin/expr)
  obsolete/		older files


PREREQUISITES:
=============
* 386BSD
  You have to have 386BSD 0.1 bindist.  You also need to patch your
                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  kernel and re-build it with Path Kit Beta-1 or better. XFree86 (which
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  is a free X11R5 running on 386BSD) is not required, but you can use X
  based info reader with XFree86.  For your convenience, I placed my
  patched kernel 386bsd (hybrid of Patch Kit Beta + XFree86 patch +
  NE200 ether net card patch) in compressed format. Use this kernel at
  your own risk.

* /bin/expr
  The native /bin/expr of 386BSD is brain damaged, so I have placed GNU
  expr in ./fixed. Use this one at your own risk, or compile it from the
  latest GNU shellutils, and install it to /bin. 

KNOWN PROBLEMS SPECIFIC TO THIS PORT:
====================================
* Not known so far.


ELI INSTALLATION ON 386BSD:
==========================
You have two choices,

	(1). Build ELI by yourself
	(2). Get pre-compiled ELI, and just install

* If you chose (1), goto HOW TO BUILD: below.
                         ============
* If you prefer (2), get ELI*-bin.tar.Z in this directory, and do:
  	zcat ELI*-bin.tar.Z | tar fx - 
  at /usr/local. This will create /usr/local/ELI, and it's ready to run.
     ^^^^^^^^^^

HOW TO BUILD:
============
To build ELI, grab the diff file in this directory and follow the
steps below. 

0. Expand ELI.

1. At ELI's root directory, do:

	zcat diffV*.Z | patch -p1

2. Follow the standard Configuration process of ELI, which is:

	cp sysdata.sh sysdata
	Configure

3. Make. It took about 2:40 on 486@33MHz+64K + 8M + IDE HD.


NFS:
===
If you are using NFS, be careful. Your ELI chache MUST BE on a local disk.
                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This means you can only build ELI on a local disk.
