- Hi netters!
-
- Okay, finally I installed mtools on my linux. Now I'm trying to install
- gcc version 2.2.2d. I ftped all the files to my account(2.2.2ddb, 2.2.2dg1,
- 2.2.2dlib, 2.2.2dmisc, and binutils). Since the files have to go through
- dos in order to get my linux, I had to rename all those files to someting
- simple and short. And then I mcopied the files to my linux. But then I got
- into a problem because I don't seem to have filenames longer than 14 chars in
- linux! Just like DOS! Now I can't run install.x.2 because it expects all
- the source files with their original name. I can't rename files with long
- name to a shorter name. Is that a bug? Or is there a way to change the length of a file name?
- Thanks in advance!
