i believe that it is *bash* complaining that it cannot find libnucrses.so.4 a quick check what bash needs:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /bin] ldd bash libreadline.so.2 => /lib/libreadline.so.2 (0x40014000) libncurses.so.4 => /lib/libncurses.so.4 (0x4003f000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4007f000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40083000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) make sure you have at least all of those libraries in a place where bash can read them. nate On Thu, 6 Jan 2000, Paul Miller wrote: pmille >I am trying to make my own boot floppy using the 2.2.13 kernel.
