        Hi All,

              I think I may have found a workaround. With allot of looking, I
    found that as86 is a part of a package that does the same thing as dev86
     (real mode assembly). So, I started looking around in the directories that
    dev86 deposits its files. No, 'as86' (or 'as') was not part of dev86
    itself. But, the system had installed a program called 'as' in /usr/bin/
    directory. I did a 'as --help' command and the result made it clear that
    this was indeed an assembler program. So, made a copy of 'as' renamed to
    'as86' and did

    make clean
    make bzImage

           It seems to be taking allot longer than previously. Hopefully this
    will work. Any comments?

          73, Don...

       Hi Kelly and Jean,

          Thanks for the response. This is where my latest attempt to compile
    in AX.25 is stalling. I will look up that package and install it.

    It is in package bin86 under Debian if that helps.

    Debian description:

    This is the as86 and ld86 distribution written by Bruce Evans. It's a
    complete 8086 assembler and loader which can make 32-bit code for the
    386+ processors (under Linux it's used only to create the 16-bit boot
    sector and setup binaries).
