Hiya,
I have been trying to setup the beta-1.1 (release) stuff off the
ftp site, but keep coming up against a brick wall almost. I did set
up the alpha version on my own machine a long time ago but this
is on a RO3.6 710 RPC.
I have been trying to follow the instructions but it seems almost
like a lot is missing. For example, the required sets seem to
change through the install instructions (for example text isnt
mentioned to begin with but it is later on). Is there anywhere i can
get a definitive list of all the set i require for a basic set up.
Also, i have managed to struggle through and get a single user set up
working, but falls over when i 'exit' to multi-user mode (cannot find
the ttyv0-5 devices). Tried the upgrade MAKEDEV in the upgrades dir
on the ftp site (which i dont know if i cam supposed to do) and that
hasnt improved the situation.
Can anyone give me any hints or point me in the right direction and
ill go try it, but i can seem to find the answers i need from the FAQ
or the installation texts.
I also noticed the beta1.1-current dir on the ftp site seems to have
gone, so i take it i use the beta1.1-release (they seem to point to
the same place anyhow). If/when will the beta1.2 set be avaiilable?
So many questions, yet so little time for people to try and help ;o)
Many thanks,
Duncs (the particularly thick at the moment)
