- Hi:
- I am new to Linux. Just install Linux using MCC interim version, get the
- 0.96c + the two patches and get it to compile no problem (except I have
- to explicit make a directory 'msdos' under fs before applying patch 2).
-
- I have a few problems after booting up from the new Image.
-
- 1. When booting up it said I have 3 tty serial ports: 1 on irq 4 and
- 2 onirq 3. I know I have only two serial ports on irq 4 irq 3.
- Is it possible something is wrong?
-
- 2. The vi I got from MCC interim add an extra blank space everytime I do an
- insert (command 'i') of blank space. Do I need to download a new binary
- and where can I find this.
-
- 3. I ran a program call TOP and get a segmentation fault, nore core however.
- Any idea? (BTW, I donwload the 0.96b verision of ps from source).
-
- 4. Also, when the system boots up, it said no bus mouse detected.
- I am using the mouse port that comes with the ATI Graphics Ultra board.
- Any idea? I am planning to upgrade to X. Did any get the Graphics
- Ultra Board to work?
-
- 5. I am new to GNU stuff too. Where can I get info, FAQ for all the GNU tools?
- I don't want to flood this news group with unrelated news item.
-
- 6. I saw some news about using extended and MSDOS file systems and the source
- indicated that it has something like this but I can't find any doc. about
- how to use it, e.g. mount the system, etc. Can any give me some pointers
- or is it something still in ALPHA and I am not suppose to use it?
-
- 7. Is there any tools, ways to make all my executables using shared libraries?
-
- If it help this is my system configuration:
-
- DTK 386-25, 8MB RAM with 172 IDE drive using ATI Graphics Ultra VGA 1MB
- with the mouse on the Video board. A CTX SVGA monitor (1024x768).
-
- 132 MB for DOS/Windows 3.1, 32 MB for Linux and 8 MB for swap.
-
- I would like to say MCC interim makes installation very easy and all the
- tools are right there in a single package.
-
- One comment, the directories in banjo and tsx-11 are a little bit confusion.
