The -U flag updates the ps database after a recompile involving no
basic changes in kernel structure, but if you make changes in
include/minix/config.h that make changes such as adding or removing
tasks you have to recompile ps.c before using the -U option.


: 3.5 has someone ported/coded a SLIP driver for minix??

There is one in the Tnet package for Minix 1.5, but it hasn't been
ported to  Minix 1.7, as far as I know.
