I installed the system myself this weekend, and here are my notes. On Tue, 17 Dec 1996, Vatiainen Heikki wrote:

When I manually used dpkg --pending --configure, the configuration and installtion proceeded without a hitch. o I have an annoying problem with the login prompt. After booting, the first prompt I get is Password: and not Username:. This happens on the console, and not on the virtual terms. However, when I logout of any terminal, console or virtual, the term shows the Password: prompt. o I'm having problems recompiling the kernel. Compilation and module installation proceeds smoothly (using kernel-sources-2.0.27_1.00 ), but at boot time the slhc, slip and ppp modules I selected (and I suspect the rest in that category) are not recognized/loaded. Even if I tell make config to include slip/ppp/slhc in the kernel instead of as modules, I cannot use slip or ppp. I noticed these modules were advertised as being (NEW!) on the first compile. The kludge I used was to compile the kernel with my specifications, but use the /lib/modules/2.0.27-old directory instead of the one installed by the make modules_install. o Incidentally, I noticed the Latex2e distribution does not include a lot of the style files mentioned in some Latex2e books, and that are found with the teTeX distribution on our campus machines (specifically the directories in /usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex). I now have to get these files from the campus and put them in the appropriate place on my machine. --prashanth -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
