- Hi, I've been having minor problems with minicom(that comes with
- the SLS distribution) and the problems are of as follows:-
-
- 1) Whenever I use minicom and change to a different console
- by the use of the (Alt-Fn) keys, and then change back
- a minute or so later, minicom sometimes FREEZES, and like
- after a few taps from the keyboard, minicom just kills
- the connection!
-
- 2) When downloading 'linux-0.99.tar' with Kermit,
- it will go fine, but like 20-30 minutes later, it
- would go crazy and say "Too many Retries" only
- to my horror that minicom actually HUNG up during
- the downloading... I could have used rz, but
- rz doesn't work. Under minicom, when I start the
- download with (Ctrl-A,R,zmodem) it will just
- give me a box in the middle of the screen momentarily
- and then it would disappear. If I tried rz
- at the prompt, it keeps on saying :-
- "rz: can't load library '/lib/libc_v2_12c'
- Then it throws me back to the prompt.
-
- Can someone please help me?
-
- Any help appreciated, and thank you in advance..
-
- but sz/rz
