This is just some quick 'off the top of my head' sort of things... First, the 'ramdisk' problem. This is probably not caused by anything associated with the booting process (though _can_ be--at least when using LILO) but rather that the kernel is configured to use a 'ramdisk' as root (/). I use

Yes, several times. Use the 'rpm.deb' package. I know that I have installed it 'just by copying' but the last time that I tried that applixware had some problems with 'license files' (somewhere in /etc) and it was just not worth the trouble (to me) to spend anytime trying to figure it out when de

Run ldd on ls. For example, ldd /bin/ls (you need the absolute path) You should get output like: libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4000f000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4000) Copy the the libraries from the ldd output to ~ftp/lib, or wherever

I'd forgot about the shared library stuff. I'd expect we'd also need ld.so in lib and to set up the library cache file in etc. This doesn't seem too easy ... Are we missing an easier solution? Perhaps a statically linked ls is the way to go. Thanks Tony -Original Message- From: Alan
