You've no doubt heard me go on about the software-only PC emulator I've
got on my web site (probably at tedious length). Well, I've finally got
round to trying ELKS on it.
In summary? It runs fine. I used the comb image, and it boots and mounts
the file system fine. Oddly, it takes about 20 seconds to get past the
calibrating-delay-loop bit (and gets about 16 bogomips). date came up with
1 January 1997. clock came up with 31 December 1999. ash ran, but wouldn't
run any child processes.
I didn't get a chance to try the virtual consoles, because my window
manager trapped the ALT key (there's always some excuse, isn't there?).
I tried passwd and it went beserk, it seemed to be trying to dump the
password file onto the sash command line over and over again. Eventually I
reset it.
Is there anything else I could try?
