- I'm looking for some help getting some linux applications up
- and running. Since there does not seem to be a comp.os.linux.[help,bug]
- newsgroup I'll post here.
-
- I've recently installed linux 0.98 ! The installation was very smooth
- and I was impressed. Next I tried to install uucp and XFree86 without
- much luck.
-
- UUCP:
- uucp commands run with no error messages but with no results.
- there are no created in any of the uucp directories. It seems
- as if no command was executed.
-
- XFree86:
- After what seems like a good installation when I execute startx
- I get the following.
-
- ____________________________________________________________________________
-
- Creating TCP socket: Invalid argument
- XFree86 Version 1.1 / X Windows System
- (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000 )
