Perfection Marcus. Down loaded 19991025. It is loaded to a 990Mb partition.
Set it up with three extra 990Mb partitions that were settransed to /home, /Debs
and /Source, and also put the swap space in. Loaded about 20 binary deb files.
Rebooted several times. No corruptions, all partitions clean.
Got the source for the latest version of bash and build it. Re booted again,
all OK. It also can see my Zip drive; what is with this plug and play?
The final test. Set it running a script, and cut the power. When the disks
stopped making noises I switched the power on and rebooted multi user. All
partitions were fscked correctly.
Will now do battle to build the hurd. Thanks earlier advise. Got autoconf,
automake, dpkg stuff and some documentation on Debian.
See you soon
Chris
