Hello,
I just downloaded a kernel CVS copy from
:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/elks and I tryed
to compile it.
The character device drivers had a note, telling that it was broken.

I fond that the problem was the script
<elks>/arcs/i86/drivers/char/KeyMaps/mkcfg
The problem is the sort command, that does not allow the option "+1f".
The fix is very simple; please, applay for me.
