Ray: I'm not using Basiclinux per se, but what, as I understand it, is something that might qualify as a beta for the next release of Basiclinux. It's pretty much just a straightforward, highly trimmed Slack 8.1 install. Steven, who answers below, seems to have put his finger on the issue: I am using a stock Slack 8.1 kernel, but it's the lowmem kernel, as Steven mentions. As he points out, it probably doesn't support sockets. There was a recommendation to use the more standard kernel if one does not have really low memory (< 8MB) once the install was complete. I copied the standard kernel from bare.i to the boot partition, but could not get it to boot (would just keep rebooting, never getting to the Linux partition). It looks like I'm getting into some issues here that are peculair to the system I'm trying to use, so I'd probably better direct further inquiries to the fashioner of this modified Slack 8.1 install.
