- Hello all.
-
- I am new to linux.
- I had a hard time getting Linux up at all, but now I have a running,
- compiling and tar-ing system: a basic Linux I think.
- I tried to compile with TCP/IP enabled (kernel 0.99, Configure-d for
- TCP/IP) and now I only get "socket: protocol not supported".
- I can't track down the error.
- "config" seems to try to create a socket, get a negative result and
- prints the error. "inetd" then dies with a silent core dump.
-
- What am I doing wrong?
-
- Where do I get some information about Linux. All I cat find on various
- ftp servers is a couple of "README" but nothing describing the whole
- thing. Am I looking in the wrong places or is Linux still not bad enough
- to be documented? :-)
-
- Please help (email preferred)
-
- Thanks
