Re: [Cooker] initscripts trouble
Everything appears to be okay, except: The old 'Backspace sends ^?' no longer works. The ^? sequence now sends Forward Delete. I have overriden the keytable section so that it uses only ^h, but this has adverse effects on some X console apps.. I think that ^? should still send backspace, since this worked before and it seems more universal. Thanks, Owen On Thu, 16 Mar 2000, you wrote: "Guy T.

[Cooker] initscripts trouble
Hello, Call me old fashioned but suuurely fsck cannot be done on a boot partition if the boot partition is mounted !? If this is the case then : # if /boot is on a partition of his own, mount it now if grep -q '/boot' /etc/fstab /dev/null ; then mount /boot fi from rc.sysinit (from initscripts-4.97-4mdk) should come after the attempt to do fsck on it ! Well, that's what I have to do to get my system to even boot with initscripts-4.97-4mdk. Also., the 'Del' and 'End' keys no longer work at the non X level, whatever the technical term for that is. They work fine under X, but when not in X all they produce is Beep ~ :( This is one reason I have stayed clear of Red Hat initscripts. I was hoping, when I saw that Mandrake were at the 97 level, that this would have been fixed. To be honest about it it's beyond my knowledge base to correct this problem. I've tried everything I can find to fix this problem in the past, including trawling through Red Hat's own knowledge base. My keyborad was just fine on the old initscripts (i.e. pre 97), so nothing physical has changed. I cannot believe I am the only one experiencing this, so I guess it's another area of knowledge I am lacking. If anyone can fill this gap in my knowledge I would be extremely grateful. Thanks, Owen
