- If you already have a version of libc.so.4.2 the instructions cause
- libc.so.4 to disappear --- I actually recovered without using bootdisk.
- by mcopy to floppy and mcopy to /lib since my mcopy didn't use libc.so.4
-
- BTW: It might be nice if ln was -static so ln -sf always available!!!
-
- The problem with the instructions is:
-
- cp libc.so.4.2 libc.so.4.2.old --> libc.so.4.2.ol for 14 char minix file system
- the next line is
- ln -sf libc.so.4.2.old libc.so.4 --> generates a 15 char symbolic link
-
- I thought this would work as identical for first 14 char
-
- My system died on the mv libc.so.4.2 foo
-
- I am running linux-0.99 pl 1 prior to begin of libc-4.2 and gcc-2.3.3
