To be exact: I wrote "If the guy knows that there are a.out and elf and
_understands_ he needs to upgrade, he's not novice user." Needless to say, the
_udnerlined_ word is more important.

As far as I know, any new subscriber to the linux-il mailing list gets, together
with subscribtion confirmation, info about
<http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Linux> web site. Now, it's question of few
minutes to find reference to ELF-HOWTO or any other HOWTO, or to the whole Linux
Documentation Project, etc, etc.

Agree :) That's why I originally sent only one line of the adequate info.

Exactly. So, there exist archives of the Linux-il mail traffic either at hagiga
or, html'ized, at plasma-gate. Searching for word ELF would bring the needed
info. As an example: On Nov, 23, Bekman Stas <ofelix@techunix.technion.ac.il>,
answering the same question, wrote:
::here is very good information source about ELF: why, how, where and what...
::Just get ELF-HOWTO from any ftphost or WWW from [L,l]inux/doc directory,
