Hi.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Please take any of it that you want. I just want it to be easy for beginners
|
|
<BR>
|
|
too. If it's crude yes. But at least it solves those niggling little
|
|
<BR>
|
|
configuration errors. Most people assume that we all have experience with
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Linux. After you have it working *then* you can start making it a little more
|
|
<BR>
|
|
elegant.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>The only other thing I'd linke to add would be for when you have to copy the
|
|
<BR>
|
|
scsi stuff:
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>viz: cp -a /usr/src/linux/include/scsi /usr/include
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>It is a new addition to the info!
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Please let me know how you get on with this and please point out that it will
|
|
<BR>
|
|
take the best part of 12 hours working non-stop (on a PII) to get it working.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
But work it does! I think that many beginners find downloading and tar -xzvf
|
|
<BR>
|
|
'ing just a little to off putting. The longer that you have understood it
|
|
<BR>
|
|
for, the worse you get at explaining it.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Meanwhile I'll have a look at the FAQ. is it the one on the mostang list?
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Steve.
