YaST and libc
S.u.S.E. Linux 4.4
From 4.4 on, YaST is statically linked to the libc, so that it should not
give any problem with the libc.
S.u.S.E. Linux November 95, 4.2 and 4.3
If you have installed a libc newer than libc.so.5.0.9 (November
95) or libc.so.5.2.18 (S.u.S.E. Linux 4.2 and 4.3), the usual
YaST does not run anymore.
In this case, install the YaST version statically linked.
S.u.S.E. Linux 4.2 and 4.3
Install the package yast_st
from the serie a
.
S.u.S.E. Linux November 95
The simpliest for you could be to use
the install disk's YaST. It is an a.out executable and runs if there
is a libc.4 anywhere (usually in /lib). This YaST is really made for other
terminfo entries (ncurses 1.8.5), but it works - at least on the console.
In the worst case, a black/white display is obtained. You reach this YaST
as follows:
Copy the image /cdrom/disks/install on a disk
dd if=/cdrom/disks/install of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k
Mount the disk
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
Copy the executable
cp -av /mnt/YaST /sbin
As said, you must have a libc.4 in the search path for the
shared libs, but anyway, currently nearly each path has already this. If
not, the a.out libraries are contained in the package libaout.tgz in the
D serie.
