- I recently installed the latest SLS on a freinds machine, I also have an
- older version of SLS installed on my own machine to compare with, (both
- are now at 0.99.4 kernel)
-
- I was having a problem with minicom contained in comms.tpz, which I
- installed on both machines.
-
- Seems that on mine, I could edit the minicom -s modem strings and other
- items properly, but on the latest SLS version I could not. (The
- backspace key would freak out an transfer all kinds of crud to the
- minirc.dfl file, if saved).
-
- Well after swapping video cards and moitors to ascertain if it was a
- confilct between them, I decided to investigate the software...
-
- After putting the getty and init programs from the new SLS onto the
- older machine, (and associated gettydefs, gettytabs) I duplicated the
- problem on my older SLS version machine (which didn't have a problem,
- before)
-
- getty dates and sizes:
-
- New SLS: Dec. 30 25604
- Old SLS: Dec. 2 33817
-
- init dates and sizes:
-
- New SLS: Jan. 11 17408
- Old SLS: Sep. 17 3292
-
- I am not sure which program is causing the problem, but there is a
- problem associated with one or the other, I had to install all of the
- programs and config's for getty to get the older system to boot.
-
- It possibly could have something to do with the way that the consoles
- are defined in the different gettydefs, of in the init program.
