[Zope] Large File Support ?!

[David Kyte]

Does this mean that there is not a 2gig limit on
windows98/NT etc?

file for any ULIMIT Definitions.


That would be an incorrect presumption, IIRC.IIRC, ulimit only reports
that which the sysadmin
 has limited you to. To get LFS, you need amodified kernel (or 2.4.x).
For RHL7.x, you want
the 'enterpise' kernel rpm installed, and then, of course, to boot said
kernel.
The other route is, of course, upgrade to 2.4.x (where x >=2, IMO), or
get the LFS patch,
apply, and build.
