- I just installed the brand new SLS release last night.
- The problem with the shell-init takes place in the b-disks of the distribution
- for some unknown reason. I noticed the problem after I installed all the
- b-disks so I think it might be in the zbfix. I just located the shell script
- zafix in /install/scripts and reran it and everything was fine.
-
- A couple of other problems I had were:
- The all the man pages are not world readable
- The directories I remember that had problems
- were cat1, cat8, and man1(?). I believe there
- was at least one more directory that needed fixing.
- The other major problem I had was that the X11 font files in
- /usr/lib/X11/font/75dpi and /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc
- need to be compressed before I could get X to work.
-
- All in all the problems were minor and just took a little head scratching to
- figure out.
-
- The SLS release of Linux is just the thing to expose it to the masses.
- I knew about Linux long before I installed it. The only problem was that I have no
- system administrator experience and so installing a complete unix system from scratch
- was intimidating to say the least. When I found out about SLS I went out and
- grabbed it off the net and in about 3 hours have unix and X-windows running
- on my PC. Please keep up the excellant work.
