Hi Will,
I tried the live CD on another Windows-only laptop and had no problems
rebooting back to Windows. I did it several times. I guess we
shouldn't worry about it for now.
Hmmm. All the machine I have are dual boot, so I can't verify this
problem. I guess we won't worry about this.
For those new to this thread, I had a problem a couple times when I ran a live CD on a Windows-only system. The live CD ran fine, but I couldn't boot back to Windows. However, my latest test worked fine. We've had no problems with linux-only and dual-boot systems. We've decided not to worry about this for now. It's not clear it's a real problem. Plus it's unlikely OLS attendees will bring Windows-only laptops.
I noticed that the sockets tapset doesn't contain the fix I made that
allows it to work with later kernels. If we can't include a later
systemtap rpm, then I'll just update socket.stp with my examples rpm.
Does that sound okay? I'll also probably install the
tutorial-specific examples under /usr/share/doc/systemtap-0.5.13. I'd
like to get people used to looking there.
Yes, just be sure to have an example that works. We can put all the
examples together in an rpm.
Will do.
I was going to ask if we could include the kernel source and cscope,
but I realize that's out of the question. The kernel source alone is
437 MB!
Regards,
Mike
The source is already in the debuginfo rpm. However, I don't know about
getting the cscope information in there. It isn't in an rpm. Generating
the stuff on the fly probably won't work too well either.
I don't see any source coming from the debuginfo rpm. Where is it located?

PS could we take this discussion to the public mailing list?
np, moving to the public list as of this message.
