- I've recently installed 386BSD 0.1, and I've got a few problems/questions
- that I haven't seen anybody else mention in the (brief) time that I've
- been reading this group....
-
- 1) How do I talk to my printer ? A /dev/lp device was not created when
- I installed the binary distribution. Is it just a simple matter of
- doing a mknod ? If so, what are the relevant major and minor devices
- numbers ?
-
- 2) Should Mtools work straight out of the box ? If for example I issue
- mdir a: it produces the message init: open: No such file or directory.
- Most of the other mtools commands produce similar messages.
-
- 3) When I try and use ktrace, it just says Bad System call - core dumped.
-
- 4) How do I configure the system for UK local time ? I tried symlinking
- /etc/localtime to /usr/share/zoneinfo/GB-Eire, but this puts the clock
- about 8 hours ahead.
-
- Any help or (polite!) suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
