- WARNING: THE PROGRAMS IN THIS SUITE DO *NOT* SUPPORT SHADOW PASSWORD FILES!
- UNLESS YOU USE PAM.
-
- WARNING: THIS COLLECTION CONFLICTS WITH SYSTEM V INITTAB.
- UNLESS YOU CONFIGURE IT NOT TO.
-
- WARNING: USE GNU TAR -- OTHER TARS WILL FAIL SILENTLY!
-
- WARNING: DO *NOT* INSTALL WITHOUT THINKING.
-
- WARNING: The simpleinit and some other programs in this package are
- *NOT* System V compliant. These utilities are meant to be
- used by people who build their own systems. If you are not
- a wizard, do *NOT* blindly install these utilities: they could
- prevent you from logging into your system. Have a boot floppy
- ready, especially if you don't know what you are doing. It's a
- great way to learn though ;-)

-
- To install from source:
-
- 1) Get source distribution (see the .lsm file for locations)
- 2) Untar util-linux-2.9.tar.gz somewhere
- 3) cd util-linux-2.9
- 4) Edit MCONFIG
- 5) make
- 6) make install
- 7) If you want to use simpleinit and agetty, then make softlinks from
- /sbin/init to simpleinit and from /sbin/getty to agetty, but make sure
- that your /etc/inittab is set up right (this is *NOT* the System V
- compatible init!), or you will be hosed. If you are using the SysV
- init and/or some other getty, they you can keep using those.
-
-
- If you have compilation problems:
-
- - with -lcrypt: you forgot to edit MCONFIG and write HAVE_LIBCRYPT=no.
- - in cfdisk or setterm: you forgot to edit MCONFIG and write HAVE_NCURSES=no
- (or you forgot to write CURSESFLAGS=-I/usr/include/ncurses -DNCH=0)?
- - in fdisksunlabel.c: change #if 1 into #if 0 if there is no <scsi/scsi.h>.
- - in mount/nfsmount.c: change #if 1 into #if 0 if there is no inet_aton().
- - in sys-utils/ipcs.c: change #if 0 into #if 1 if <linux/linkage.h> is needed.
- - in sys-utils/cytune.c: change #if 0 into #if 1 if <linux/tqueue.h> is needed.
-
- elsewhere: tell util-linux@math.uio.no about it.
-
-
- If you have runtime problems:
-
- - with non-ASCII characters: perhaps you forgot to set LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL?
- (For example, in Norway one can say LC_ALL=no_NO; export LC_ALL and
- then various utilities will treat Scandinavian non-ASCII letters as
- letters.)
-
- otherwise: tell util-linux@math.uio.no about it.
