PDS 0.98f release

PDS 0.98f is released with the following changes

1. Fix set task cpu to offline cpu warning, reported by pf.

It is too good to have no issue in my list. Enjoy PDS 0.98f for v4.14 kernel, :)

  1. No no no. Something's still or again wrong with distribution about cores and nice levels.

    Just noticed, that my two IDLE WCG clients were running on core1 only, after some real life dish-washing, but almost nothing else ran on core0. Then switched to kconsole to start htop: But with that switch or the command everything normalised.

    It's a BUG not a feature.

    1. Now stopped a smplayer video, and IDLE goes back to core1, while core0 doesn't do anything. BR, Manuel Krause
