  Boy, what an attenton grabber.. :)..

   Yes, 'tis me again.  I have just RE-formated my whole
HD, then repartitioned it, and now, mkfs'd the two minix 
partitions...

   After also 'attempting' to install the TCP/IP, and
do a 'make' kernel, I 'sync' and then I rebooted.

   The following screen showed up, and totally confused me:-

   ...
   hda :
    part 1 start 17 size 51238 end 51254
    part 2 start 51255 size 130560 end 181814
    part 3 start 181815 size 52020 end 233834
   Partition table ok.

 Well, that's what happens.  If someone can explain what the hell is
going on and what I MUST have done wrong, I'd feel much better.  I
was gonna 'SOCK' the computer if it wasn't for this newsgroup..

 <GET IT?? SOCK?? SOCKET?? HAHAHAHA...never mind....heh :)>

  The way I got to the above stuff is did the following:-

  1) cd /etc/inet
  2) sh install.net
       using Ip Address = 127.301.022.401
             Net Address = 127.301.022.0
             router address = 0.0.0.0
             domain name = van.bc.ca
             Name server for Domain = 127.301.022.401
      Run at boot time = y

  3) cd /linux
      did a 'make'
        and tons of errors popped up:-

       build.o : Undefined symbol _exit referenced from text segment
                       .
                    etc... <but instead of _exit, some other stuff
                            were displayed, and here's a list of them:-
                    _stat,_perror,__cerr_sbuf,_fprintf,
                    _write,_close,_open,_read,_write,
            and once in awhile, some of the aforementioned functions
            (or whatever) is repeated...

     then at the end, it shows this:-
   /usr/lib/libgcc.a(__main.o): Undefined symbol _atexit referenced from
                                        text segment
   make: *** [tools/build] Error 1

  <note: libgcc.a was not where it was supposed to be, it was in
          /usr/lib/shlib/nojump.   Any reason for this??>

  4) I ignored the errors, as I'm not an expert at C programming, and
     I did a 'sync' and rebooted, only to get the above screen.

 I'm probably gonna get MAJORLY hosed by some of you linux wizards,
professionals and etc...  Just hope someone HELPS me before I get hosed..


  I know..this isn't my first, but heck, at least it's a good effort
by me to learn... <innocent looking grin>

   Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate any help...
