Hi there,
just thought I'd post a few offerings after I found
while installing the latest SLS 1.0
1. the c proggy to test if the mouse is working
(can't remember where it is)
is missing the line
#inlude <signal.h>
2. The file xinitrc has a line
OPENWINHOME=/u/........
which should read
OPENWINHOME=/usr/..........
3. to get some of the man/cat pages to work in X you need to create
two links. geqn -> neqn and gtbl -> tbl.
4. A few C proggys that compiled before, did not this time.
The problem was the /usr/include/linux directory was a
a true directory with a few files in it and not a link
to /usr/src/linux/include/linux (I think that's right)
I just moved the files in /usr/include/linux, deleted
the dir and created the link, and all compiled fine then.
I needed to do this for a kernel recompile as well.
Apart from that it was a breeze.
One thing though. X now takes a LOT longer to start up, then the
previous SLS did. I'm using a Trident 8900C card :(
(the scrolling is painful).
Thanks again.
JJ
