- Hi y'all,
-
- OK, I have SLS 0.96 up and running smoothly.
-
- --- How do I create a user?
-
- ---When I log in as user1, the system will not let me set a passwd. How
- do I get around this. It says that it could not read the passwd
- file. I know I have to do something with chown, but what?
-
- --- As user1, I cannot run any programs - eg kermit.
-
- --- When I try to use emacs, it says that it cannot find some 'X' library.
- Since my current Video card is NOT supported by Linux, I have not
- installed X yet. Is there a work around for this?
-
- --- WHere can I find a port of Tcsh for Linux 0.96
-
- --- WHere do I get mtools - so I can read/writye MS-DOS Floppy disks.
- Were these included in the SLS Dist.? If so where?
-
- That's all, for now (=>). I would appreciate any help on this.
-
- Finally,
- I would like to know who to contact about documentation for Linux.
- I am interested in working on the docs.
-
- Thanks
-
