@@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ A: Yes. ngIRCd is compatible to the original ircd used by IRCNet. Actually
    this is being tested with version 2.10.3p3.
 
 Q: Is there a homepage with further information and downloads?

 Q: Why should I use ngIRCd instead of the original one?

    version 1.6 of GNU automake.
    (If you are using Debian 3.0 "Woody" you can try to downgrade to version
    1.4 of GNU automake shipped with this distribution; it should work, too.)
-Q: I cannot connect to remote peers and I use the chroot option. ngircd says:
-   ngircd[2152]: Can't resolve example.com: unknown erroror!
 
-A: On Linux/Glibc with chroot enabled you need to put
-   some libraries inside the chroot as well, notably libnss_dns; maybe others.
-   Unfortunately, even linking ngircd statically does not help this.
-   The only known workaround is to either disable chroot support or
-   link against dietlibc instead of glibc. (tnx to Sebastian Siewior)

+Q: I am running Linux and ngircd dies on startup with the follwing errors:
+   IO subsystem: epoll (hint size 100, initial maxfd 100, masterfd -1).
+   Cannot initialize IO routines: Function not implemented
+   Server isn't listening on a single port!
+   ngircd exiting due to fatal errors!
+A: epoll is only supported on 2.6 Linux kernels. Either use a 2.6 kernel, or
+   re-run configure with the --without-epoll parameter. After configure
+   completed, you should see select() being listed as IO backend:
+   '(I/O backend: "select()"').
