Hello from Gregg C Levine Thanks Harley, and folks. Neal's pages happened to be what I was looking for. However the reference to the tar balls sitting on the Alpha server need to be revised. The symbolic link that's the one marked as 'latest' and points to the one named thusly: gnu-20020816.tar.gz, was moved to a directory named attic sometime last year, in August. It also works. After installing it on an appropriately formatted partition, also following the instructions that Neal gave I was able to boot to a command line. There's more, but I should be able to figure things out from Neal's document. Like the appropriate translator can't find the fstab file in the etc directory.
The one that Robert Millan uploaded right around the time the Alpha server was cracked didn't want to work correctly. This was tested on two completely different machines. Robert, can you provide the location where you uploaded the corrected file? As for building things, following the directions on both sites, the on GNU.org, and the Savannah site, I was able to download the code stored in the CVS storage point. Building it will be covered in a later e-mail. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
