- I am having trouble with base2.Z on tsx-11. I need it for sed so that
- I can finish installing GCC2.2.2d.
-
- Here is what I have done. I have Linux 0.98.1 from nic.funet.fi.
- I got HLU's bootable rootdisk to get the latest stuff off of it,
- and I copied the libraries over, and linked them up.
-
- I ftp'd base1.Z, kermited it down, uncompressed it, rawrote it under dos, and
- mounted it on Linux, no problem.
-
- I ftp'd base2.Z, kermited it down, during the uncompress I got something
- like "file token bad". I kermited it down a second time, same thing.
-
- I ftp'd it a second time, kermited, and got the same message during uncompress.
-
- I ftp'd it a third time, uncompressed it FIRST, then kermited it down.
- (at 2400 baud!)
-
- This apparently worked. When I mounted it, it looked like some of the
- stuff was missing, there was nothing in etc, and the timezone stuff
- was not there. In fact, when I did a "ls -al" it said ".: not found".
-
- I copied over the stuff in /usr/bin, but when I went to execute
- any of them, sed for example, it said "can't execute sed".
-
- All the permissions were fine, they were set for rx u g and o.
-
- So I ran fsck on the floppy and got a whole slew of messages.
- Iran it on my hard drive, and every one of the binaries that I
- copied from base2 had erros, and it deleted access to them for
- everyone but root.
-
- Being determined to get sed so I can have a compiler (I am jealous of
- all of you :-) ) I kermited it down UNCOMPRESSED a fourth time,
- but still got "can execute xxx". So I booted the rootdisk,
- mounted base2, and tried executing them from there:
- ./sed and still got the same message.
-
- Is base2.Z corrupt? Do I need the jumptables? The dates for 5rootdisk
- and base(1 2 3).Z all match, so I assumed that the libraries on the
- rootdisk would work with the base disks, is this wrong?
-
- Failing all of this, where can I get sed?
-
- Thanks,
-
