- I have a couple of kinda newbie questions about the source distribution of
- 386bsd 0.1, so please bear with me and don't roll your eyes _too_ much :)
-
- I can make the binary distribution fly with no problems, but I haven't had
- too much experience with source distributions of any OS, let alone Unix . .
-
- I can get the source distribution unpacked fine (except I got an error along
- the lines of "can't find script source.install, install failed" or something
- like that) and I carefully read the file /usr/src/ROADMAP but when I try to
- run config or make all I get is command not found errors. Does this mean
- that I have to first install the binary distribution? (i.e. the source distrib
- doesn't come with the executables I need to compile the OS). If I don't need
- to first install the binary distrib, then what am I doing wrong.
- (For that matter, where can I get a good discussion of make, other than the
- man pages, I'm not that much of a tyro :) :)
-
- If I need both distributions installed, is there any way I can do it on an
- 80MB hard drive. I tried installing first the binary and rebooting to delete
- the bin01.* files, then installing the source distribution, but the filesystem
- got full.
-
- In another vein, where should I look for more instructions on how to enable
- incomming telnet and ftp connections. The boot sequence "sees" my 3c503 and
- ifconfig makes the thing work (I can ping, ftp, and telnet other hosts) but
- if I try to ping, ftp or telnet my 386BSD machine from another machine,
- I get no response.
-
- Thanks for you help in advance, and thanks to Bill and Lynne and everyone
- else who made this wonderful OS.
