Re: newbie questions
I am sure this is dead simple and explained in several places but I'm
getting nowhere fast.
I am using a Micron pentium 100 and have Win95 operating on a partitioned 2
gig HD. I choose win95 or debian through OS2 boot manager and debian
boots from its partition with LILO. I also have a debian swap file
partition.
I have downloaded and (apparently) successfully installed 1.2.1(actually
1.2 first and then 1.2.1) and thrashed around in the Infomagic December
cd-rom set with dselect. I understand the commands OK but the sheer volume
of packages is overwhelming. Anyhow, I can't get the directory to display
at the / level other than 3 bash files (or subdirectories). I have logged
in as root and su. I can cd to subdirectories and ls -a or ls -f and see
the trees from there but not at root.
Also, following Zenon Fortuna's detailed posting regarding the Info Magic
LDR (thank you Zenon!!) I can get to the point of trying to create a new
kernel but the "make config" says command not found. I suspect this has to
do with run levels or permisions but I am quite lost.
And finally, every once in a while I hit an attempted command
experimentally and the root prompt changes from # to > and I can't use any
commands. When I try to go back to the rot directory I get a "not
connected" message. My only way out has been to shutdown. Any
suggestions.
