You can put the subdirectory in your path. Let's say it's
$HOME/bin, then change your .bash_profile to read
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
or
PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
depending on the search order you prefer.

The problem is that you don't have the current directory in your path.
To put the current directory ('.') first in your path, you should do
PATH=.:$PATH # or PATH=$PATH:. if you want it last.
in your '~/.bashrc' file (if you're using bash).

It's not a problem. For security reasons you have to use ./ if the
executable isn't in your PATH. It's safe and not hard to type ./ .
Put the executable in your $HOME/bin (and add it to the PATH).

But note that on some copies of RedHat 6.1 (mine at least) the bin86
package appears to be missing. On a previous thread Hal Burgiss
said it had been renamed as the dev86 package (but I've not looked
to see if that was on my CD - I pulled bin86 down from the web).

Yes. Thank you. I now remember reading somewhere about that
distinction. It's for security reasons that it's not setup
with that argument initially, right?

Hi,
I'm using Redhat 6.1 and i'm having a strange problem with my SCSI.
When I boot linux, a few minutes later the SCSI bus hangs for a
minute and than goes on like nothing happened. The light indicator
from the SCSI bus flashes on and I read or write anything from
a SCSI device during that period. I am using Redhat 6.1 with
a Intel 440BXSE-2 motherboard and an Adaptec 2940U2W SCSI controller.
I tried to recompile the kernel with the AIC7xxxx driver but the
problem still exists.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for replying.

Hello!
I am running an emachine tower with a decent Tektronix monitor, 466MHz
Intel CPU, only 4MB video RAM. I was able to get the Xserver running
fine, but I had to settle for 16 bit mode, as it would not work in 24
bit. I have SuSE Linux, a fine system. I used SaX to configure it. Hope
this helps.

Subject: wireless pcmcia network driver..
Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2000 14:22:31 +0200
Hi there,
I certainly hope this is the right newsgroup to post this message to.
I´m fairly new to Corel Linux and I´m trying to install a pcmcia
wireless network card called aviator 2.4 from Webgear, on an Intel based
system. But things are not working out for me at all and I´m now shouting
for help.
The device driver for Aviator is included in the pcmcia pack.
This is what I´ve done so far:
Unpack kernel-source-2.2.12 in /usr/src/
Unpack pcmcia-cs-3.1.11 in /usr/src/
(in /usr/src/kernel-source/):
make mrproper
make oldconfig
make menuconfig
make bzImage
(in /usr/src/pcmcia/):
make config
make all
make install
Here are parts of my systemlog showing the errors:
