What is the largest file I can capture with the stock utilties under a kernel 2.4 system? Can I pass the 2gig limit, the 4gig limit? Also, is this distro dependent (based upon distro applied patches, either to libc or kernel) ? thx and rgds, -Greg +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ "DOS Computers manufactured by companies such as IBM, Compaq, Tandy, and millions of others are by far the most popular, with about 70 million machines in use wordwide. Macintosh fans, on the other hand, may note that cockroaches are far more numerous than humans, and that numbers alone do not denote a higher life form."
