- I re-installed my sls disks, after dl'ing the c series, too. I did a
- 385 cyl root partition (65450 Ko) as a minix fs, and a 200 cyl (34000
- Ko) /home partition as an extfs. As I still do not have my ram
- upgrade, I set up a 8500 Ko swap partition and the rest of the disk
- (100 cyl = 17000 Ko) will be for my dos needs--would that they were
- not in fact *needs*.
-
- Anyway, it all seems to be running OK, though I am stuck in 80x25 text
- mode. Looking thru the kernal src (99.1, from sunsite's incomming
- dir) I didn't find what I need to change to get 80x50 text mode. I
- also cannot get /proc to show up. Do I need an entry in /etc/fstab
- or something???
-
- I just have to make sure that I have the latest versions of the extfs
- utilities, dl term-0.7 to let me do background dl's, and get the t and
- x series installed, not to mention all those recently announced fsf
- packages, etc. Thanks in advance to whomever did them--I'm quite
- short for disk space here until I get the desktop system to backup the
- Nomad.
-
- Again: Vielen Kudos to Linus, Softlanding, and every other contributor!
- Man is it great to be the sysadmin for a change!
-
- P.S. Almost forgot: HOW do I add users such that the shadow files get
- updated. Using the routines in the SLS distrib, even passwd(1),
- I only see changes to /etc/passwd & /etc/groups. Because I used
- passwd(1) to set my root passwd, I get "no shadow entry for root's
- password" (or some such) errors whenever I log in....
