The machine I have been using for RH73 LFDS development on linux is no longer available so I need access to a new machine to develop the RH73 version of scripts.so and bhs.so on.
All I would need is the abillity to telnet or SSH to it and to FTP files to and from it. Also, it would need to have a working copy of the RH73 LFDS (and matching libraries) so that I can test stuff (i.e. a copy that I can do stuff to). Also (and most importantly), it needs a copy of "gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)" on it as that is the compiler that I have been using the compile the RH73 LFDS and several ASM hacks (in bhs.so most notably) may break if compiled with some other compiler.
I do not require huge amounts of bandwidth or disk space and would be using this just to compile and test the RH73 versions of scripts.so and bhs.so. I would need this on a semi-ongoing basis so that I can develop scripts.dll 3.0 and future versions on it.

The alternative is that I drop support for the RH73 LFDS completly from scripts.so/bhs.so. Dont suggest "install it yourself" as an alternative because I dont have any machines that I can install linux on (and installing it in a virtual machine is not an option either for all sorts of reasons I cant go into) plus I dont even know where to GET "gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)"

If push comes to shove, another machine with a different version of GCC on it (but still a 2.9x machine that can run the RH73 LFDS) would probobly suffice as I could check and if need be fix those ASM hacks that could be a problem.

i have a spare pc around i could convert into a linux box. i could put suse linux 9.1 on it, i could put redhat. but i dont like that as much.

i would have telnet and ftp access.

I dont much mind which version of linux it runs as long as it has "gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)" on it (or failing that some other version of GCC 2.9x such as gcc 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3) ), ld-linux.so.2, libstdc++-libc-6.2-2.so.3, libm.so.6, libc.so.6 and the other libraries required for the RH73 LFDS to work. Also, it would be nice if a matching version of GDB was available.
Plus, I suggest you set up SSH instead of Telnet, if you run Telnet it makes your machine much more vulnerable to hackers (the nasty kind)

I think a virtual machine is all you need jonwil. You don't really
need a real server for just compiling scripts.


When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

As I mentioned in my initial post, a virtual machine is not an option.
In any case, I now have a machine I can use (thanks to blazer)

I'm sorry, I didn't read that part.
But I virtual machine is that what I use for compiling scripts,
and I don't see the point of not using one, because it behaves like
a normal server.

I have a old comp with windows 95 on it somewhere.

Mabe if I got it working I could ship it to you and you could put it to use? Format it than put Linux on it on whatever?

I don't know.

I think that comp would be pretty slow for compiling.

Well he said he has a computer that he can use, so problem solved.
