240 | v0.39 (rel. 8) is out. It solves a lot of kernel-related problems.
|
---|
241 | Please try it. I am working hard to get Mondo v1.14 ready for an
|
---|
242 | official release. In the meantime, please give the new Mindi release
|
---|
243 | a try.</FONT></FONT></FONT></P>

250 | v1.14 (beta) is out. I am pleased to announce that I have finally
|
---|
251 | gotten around to porting mondo-tarme, the script at the heart of the
|
---|
252 | backup side of Mondo, to C. This will obviate an obscure bug in bash,
|
---|
253 | increase the overall stability of the code, and provide users with
|
---|
254 | better feedback thanks to mondo-tarme.c's use of the newt library. I
|
---|
255 | am still testing it. However, it looks a heck of a lot slicker than v1.13!</FONT></FONT></FONT></P>

263 | So, in short, I've released Mondo v1.13 r8 and I've worn out 2 or my

264 | 3 CD-RW disks. Mondo is getting better all the time but I still need

265 | your bug reports. Please include all your logs, especially

266 | /var/log/mondo-archive.log and the boot-time /tmp/mondo-restore.log;

267 | also please send me your original /etc/fstab, /etc/lilo.conf and the

268 | boot-time /tmp/mountlist.txt.</FONT></FONT></FONT></P>
