Compiling Trouble etc

[Michael Hofmann <michael.hofmann-@gmx.net>]

Hello,

where can I get the missing binaries for the complete distribution, as found 
in elkscmd and elksnet? 
Compiling is probably not meant for the average user that I am. All I get is 
errors, and without profound documentation I don't seem to be able to resolve 
the issues.
A few more questions:
- When trying to compile, I wanted to incorporate the German keymap to 
accomodate my keyboard. It seems like the keymap is compiled into the kernel, 
there is probably no other way to map a German layout? If so, does anyone 
have a "Germanized" kernel for me?
- Since there is no adduser command, how do I establish a user account?
- A while ago someone posted a link to e3, a small editor suitable for ELKS. I 
dld it and compiled, but it doesn't seem to work. The precompiled binary also 
doesn't work. Did anyone succeed, and how? I always hated vi and would 
appreciate something less cryptic. (BTW the Linux version works fine on my 
RH7.3 system)
- Are there plans for ethernet drivers, particularly the 3C503 (I remember 
someone suggested this card a while ago)?

I have many more questions, but this should be enough for now. Thanks to 
everyone who contributed to ELKS. I have been fascinated ever since I started 
lurking about 3 years ago, to have sth else than DOS to run on my 286-16.

TIA,
Michael
