There is aproblem with putting CHD or CHX in a shell script.  When you run a
shell script, it starts a new instance of SHELL, which terminates when the
script ends.
 
What this means is changes the execution directory in the script, and when the
script ends, the execution directory is restored back to where is was before
the script was called.  The operating system will automatically use /dd in
place of /h0 if /h0 is not in the module directory.
 
Try this:
 
shell
chd sys
dir
ex
pwd
 
If you notice, after the ex, your directory is restored to where it was before
you entered shell.  This is what would happen inside your script.

Try using tar twice: once for compressing, once for putting the stuff onto
your disks. For example:

     tar cvfz /tmp/usr.bin.tar.Z /usr/bin
     tar cvfM /dev/fd0 /tmp/usr.bin.tar.Z

The command you want is

  type i

The reason that's not in the READ.ME is that it's not a KA9Q command.
Under KA9Q, FTP doesn't have many commands of its own.  It simply
passes your commands to the server at the other end.  So most of the
commands are defined by the FTP protocol spec.  This is one.

	Test is a real UN*X command. So its not a good idea to call your
programs that, since you might end up running the wrong one. In your
case, it seems to be running the "real" test command, instead of your
executable.

	As for X: X, xinit, and xterm must be setuid root. (do a chown root
filename;chmod u+s filename). Also make sure all the X directories are
readable be non root (do a find /usr/X386 -print as non root, if you
can't get into a directory, use chmod as root to fix it. Directories
should usually be chmod 755). Same applies to the non-executable files
(e.g. config stuff, etc.) in the X directories but they should be chmod
644.

Subject: SLS install problems...
Reply-To: krouth@etcs03.eld.ford.com
Organization: The Internet
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1992 11:16:47 GMT

I downloaded SLS 0.98 from tsx-11.mit.edu yesterday and took it home.
These files include the recently announced updates (0.98p1).  I had
several problems during the installation which I would like to find out
are normal or abnormal.

First off, I wiped my previous installation using mkfs /dev/hda2 35190.
I wanted to install into a clean disk partition to prevent problems
which might occur from older files existing.

(1)	The lx98.taz file wouldn't install because it needs to install
	into /usr/src/linux and a previously installed file created a
	link in /usr/src which is linux->/usr1/src/linux.  The
	problem is that /usr1 and /usr1/src directories were NOT
	created beforehand, therefore an error from the tar.  I
	created them manually and tar xzvf'ed the lx98.taz files
	manually afterward.

(2)	Some of the uucp files did not install either.  I believe
	there were three of them.  The rest installed OK.

(3)	When using the menu program to uninstall some unneeded files,
	it could not find the file sysinstall.  I found it elsewhere
	and moved it to the correct location.

(4)	The passwd program does not allow passwords of over 8
	characters.   This is inconsistent with the 0.96c MCC version
	I previously had installed.

I basically can hack my way around these problems but I did want to find
out if these problems are normal and if anybody else saw the same
behavior.  E-mail or posting responses are fine.

I am impressed with Linux thus far and plan to install the xfree-86
release next to try out with my Trident 8900c card.  If all goes well, I
plan to invest in a LARGE second hard drive exclusively for Linux.

THANKS!

It sounds like you've got it exactly right. I just went blew away
386BSD (I had a 0.0 installation and had only upgraded the kernel (I
had been hacking on NFS and the com drivers) so it didn't have any DOS
partition) and put a DOS partition and two linux partitions (64M, 64M,
and 70M) on my disk. (I actually *need* the DOS partition for some
go32 gcc stuff I'm hacking on[*].)
	From DOS, I kermit'ed down a1, a2, and the a3 and a4
directories, as well as rawrite; I used rawrite to dump a1 and a2 onto
floppies (same as cat in your example), copied a3 and a4, then hit
control-alt-del. 
	a1 didn't boot the first time -- the machine reset, the drive
light went on... then went out and the machine hung. I remembered that
BSD wouldn't boot after a DOS boot either... so I hit reset, and it
came right up! It found my printer port, 2 serial ports on the game
card, *both* of my AST four-ports (thanks Ted! :-)...
	I've installed a*, and I'm pulling over b*, c*, and x* now.
The a install was a little bit subtle (patching the kernel and such)
but following the directions "just worked". I'm kermit'ing the other
packages over, I expect to be able to just run sysinstall on all of
the .taz files (if I'm wrong, you'll hear about it :-)
	Oh, and you should be able to ignore the .FSP_CONTENT files,
they're for an alternate file transfer protocol -- the DOS disk
mangles the name anyhow.
	Kudos for putting SLS together! I haven't needed to *work* to
get this running (unlike I have with 386BSD, or any BSD for that
matter... They could really use this technology over in
comp.unix.bsd.)
	Now to try my own kernel builds -- once I have slip or ppp
running, I'll see about porting Kerberos.

Please consider just making a mailpak directory on tsx, and leaving the

Also, it is easier to obtain and archive individual packages than one

I have a problem (when running X11v2.0) of X not catching
keyboard events.  On my system, I boot it up in 80x25 mode
and run it, and it works (clients come up and mouse pulls up menus).

BUT...All keyboard events are passed on to the "virtual console" I was
in before running X.  The upshot of that is that when I press <RETURN>,
my X server screen moves (I assume because the virtual console is
scrolling the text of the virtual console which also exists in
video memory?).

Anyway, the basic problem is that the X server doesn't appear to be
catching keyboard input.

Anybody have any suggestions.  I'm running with

The r option of tar allows you to add files to an existing tar medium.
Tarring directly to/from the floppy as a raw medium obviates problems of
remembering to umount the floppy before removing it from the drive.

Linux supports MFM drives just fine, as long as they are running off an

     I don't have it compiled, but I am currently working on such
a program.  Actually, it's Imperium rather than Empire, the rela-
tionship between which is similar to that between rogue and hack.
 
     Since I eventually intend to run linux on my PC all the time,
I'm extremely personally motivated to get a decent empire/imperium
game working in the environment.
     As soon as I finish serex and bue (a Telix-clone and a 
WordStar clone, respectively), I'll be kissing my DOS bye-bye, as
these are the only two programs (besides empire, which is a little
more dispensible) that I depend upon that aren't really offered in
linux.  
     Incidentally, if you could point me in the direction of some 
sort of reference describing the format of the termcap file (for 
purposes of terminal emulation), it would speed up my work in all 
three programs.  I have my ANSI emulation down pretty well, but
am looking for information on VT100 emulation and in the long term
would like all three to be termcap-dependent.
