Installing the COOKER from 17.05.2000
Hardware: IBM-ThinkPad 390E
PCMCIA : Network-Card = Xircom-Card
Installing in EXPERT mode
Folloing probelms:
o Command sysclt is not installed
Used with the new sysclt functionality of Linux kernel
Files affected: /etc/rc.d/init.d/network,single,sound,usb
o Under "Want to configure LAN ..."
I have a pcmcia card. If I say NO, then some of the
packages will not be installed. eg. dhcp-client !!!
If I say YES then I MUST select one module from the list
although I do not have it !!!
o procps is not available any more !!!!!
I see this as CRITICAL !!!
This way you do not have ps and top.
And some applications require these ;-)
o I try to give a chance to XFree 4.0 ;-))
but:
-> /var/log isn't there, so the Server do not start.
Created /var/log as a symlink to ../tmp just like
/var/tmp
Things get better now, but that not all yet ;-/
-> Error: Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'
Copy /mnt/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt to there
-> Failed to load module "bitmap" (module does not exists, 0)
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules is almost empty.
-> OK give up for the moment (wanna sleep a little ;-))
The whole XFree 4.0 environment is broken at the moment.
You will have to do some work on that ;-))
If configured and tested XFree86-4.0 after installation and
it works fine :-)))
Well I had to mix your XF86Config-4 and the one from XFree -configure
but in the end it is fine.
o Selecting grub as the boot loader under EXPERT mode is completly
ignored.
It becomes always the LILO.
o Configuring the Network with Linuxconf:
-> Setup dummy0 with IP=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd and Netmask 255.255.255.255
It tells me all the time the IP-Adress is invalid.
To solve the problem I edited
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-dummy0
Replace NETMASK="255.255.255.0" with "255.255.255.255"
Restart network
What I wann see is some thing like this:
-------------------------------------------
rmalta@cenit4:~ > netstat -rn

I hope it helps.

Real programmers don't comment their code.
It was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
