Hi, I'm trying to build a boot disk up from scratch to suite some of my own needs as well as to learn a little more about the way a basic linux system functions. Anyway, I read the howto on this and everything has gone well so far (I now have a working boot disk). However, I wanted to include ping on the disk and I am having problems with it. When I issue ping at the command promt it returns: ping: unkown protocol icmp I doubled checked, but I do have the /etc/protocols file and icmp if defined in it so that can't be the problem. Also I have /dev/inet/* which includes an icmp device file (though I do not know what this does). What else do I need to get ping to work (I do of course have all the libraries for it). Can anyone tell me what else I might be missing??? Thanks Timothy Lillicrap [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
